Lesley:

• Irrepressibly smiley
• Often here at 5 am

• Leaves a trail of post-it notes with story ideas and entrepreneurial visions
• Too many ideas not enough bullet points

Currently found swanning about the Arabian Gulf establishing our Abu Dhabi branch. Partial to typography and sunshine and any excuse to head to Europe with an oversized suitcase.  Appears to have inherited an excessive use of post-it notes from her mother and you can read about it here.

Otherwise found: Hunting out sauvignon blanc in the desert or buried under Arabic parerwork.
