Meet the team behind Shell + Ink:

I’m Laura (or Dez to my friends – it’s a long story!) – a PR, marketing and communications professional with ten years’ experience in the industry. My career path has spanned many different fields, including housebuilding, the charity sector and interior design, but I pride myself on being able to turn my experience and skills to just about anything!

And I'm Alyx (no mysterious alter-ego, boo!) – a social media whizz with experience of teaching absolute novices how to ace Instagram and taking brands from zero to hero in a few months. I specialise in the creative sector but I happily tailor my social strategy to anyone who needs help.

I love brown sauce, books and social media.

I hate gin, hoovering and the cold!
