Projects

In reaction to the lack of women participating in football within her community, Philippa created Brockham Blaze FC, a ladies' football community and team dedicated to empowering women, especially mums, to get onto the pitch. Her vision was simple: to inspire women to play, feel empowered, and experience the many positive benefits that football can bring – from physical fitness to personal confidence and self-esteem. Philippa also designed a distinctive logo and football kit that reflects the strength, resilience, and trailblazing spirit of the women who proudly belong to the club. Brockham Blaze FC has become a vibrant, supportive community where women can come together, break down barriers, and embrace the power of sport. Through her leadership, Philippa has created a platform where women can rediscover their passion for team sports and realise their full potential both on and off the field.

Philippa’s passion for equality in women's sports led her to co-found girls ALIVE a women's sport and fitness charity dedicated to empowering women through physical activity. In this role, she was instrumental in developing the charity’s brand identity, ensuring it was both vibrant and impactful, reflecting the energy and inclusivity of the organisation. Philippa also designed a custom sportswear range that not only captured the essence of girls ALIVE but was also functional and empowering for women. Her skills in promotion, marketing, and public relations played a key role in raising the charity’s profile, connecting with a wide audience, and building a community around the brand. Through Girls ALIVE, Philippa helped create a platform that encourages women to embrace fitness and wellness in a supportive and welcoming environment.

Philippa’s expertise played a pivotal role in a standout project with Zed Agency, where she helped create a promotional film for Wheels for All, the nation’s favourite inclusive cycling charity. The film, which was shortlisted for the prestigious @SmileyCharityFilmAwards, beautifully tells the inspiring story of volunteer David and the profound, positive impact that volunteering can have on both individuals and communities. Philippa's work in this project seamlessly merged visual storytelling with purpose, capturing the essence of WfA’s mission to provide inclusive cycling opportunities for all. The film effectively communicates the power of volunteerism and its transformative effect on both the volunteers and the people they help.

Philippa worked with the Hong Kong-based design firm and retailer General Store, specialising in sourcing and supplying mid-century and industrial homewares, accessories, and furniture. She travelled extensively across Europe, visiting major antique fairs and auction houses to find one-of-a-kind pieces for the store. Her dedication to discovering unique, high-quality items ensured that each collection offered distinctive pieces that captured the essence of timeless design and craftsmanship, enhancing the store’s curated selection

Philippa played a key role in a sourcing project for renowned restaurateur Olivier, based in Jakarta, Indonesia. Collaborating with the design firm General Store, she expertly curated an eclectic mix of vintage decorative objects for the restaurant. Her selection included unique artwork, taxidermy, display items, and vintage kitchenware, each chosen to enhance the restaurant's atmosphere and reflect its distinctive character. Philippa's keen eye for detail and her ability to blend diverse elements contributed to creating a memorable and immersive dining environment.

Philippa worked for Ralph Lauren's European creative retail team for 10 years, styling the interiors and window displays for the brand’s European stores. Her passion for interior design flourished during her time heading up the European Home Collection schemes, where she sourced props, furniture, and homewares, in addition to styling the designer's interior design collections.
