"I work with Kirsty as NED at Nicola Harding and wholeheartedly recommend her. She's incredibly agile and has such a 'can-do' approach, getting a lot done to a high standard. She'll challenge as is necessary and get stuck in when things need doing. Her skillset and experience is broad and she can work across multiple different projects. She is mature yet brings her team with her, coaching them to deliver. She's also realistic about business and slots in wherever she is needed to add value. She's great!"

"Kirsty is an outstanding designer and strategic thinker. We worked closely together at Heal's in different departments, and I always enjoyed the projects when we could collaborate and work together. She really has a full vision and can see how all different departments from PR, Marketing to Design and E-Commerce can work together for the business.

She is able to work highly effectively and creatively from concept strategy all the way through to delivery. Her attention to detail and commercial perspective is perfectly balanced with a true understanding of the customer, brand and product. She is very connected and has an extensive network to support any project.

Kirsty is an inspirational public speaker and effectively supports brands as a spokesperson across a variety of platforms. I have witnessed her mentoring her junior team and becoming a key member of the brand she is working with.

Kirsty is truly exceptional, it's been an absolute pleasure to work with her, and I hope one day we work professionally together again. Any brand would be very lucky to have her on their team."

"During the few years Kirsty and I worked together at Photobox she proved herself to be an excellent product director; endlessly creative and innovative in the search for new customer products whilst having a clear understanding of the customer and business needs and wider production implications & risks in delivering products to market.

Kirsty delivered infectious enthusiasm and positivity day to day, getting buy-in across the business in facing product development challenges whilst motivating and developing her team to deliver outstanding product results.

Positive, cheerful, engaging, enthusiastic, confident and knowledgeable, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Kirsty to any prospective employer, not only as a design, product and brand expert leader but also as a coach, mentor and friend."

"Kirsty is a Swiss Army knife in human form, with her depth of knowledge, keen and discerning eye, creative problem solving, and rigorous project management skills making her a crucial asset to her team. I have had the good fortune of partnering with Kirsty in her work at NiX by Nicola Harding, and have been continually impressed with how she takes on new hats and new challenges (all part & parcel of startup life) with ceaseless grace, good humour, and a focus on impact. From product design to marketing, creative to metrics, Kirsty is across it all. It's been a joy working with her."
