Where It All Began
Creativity has always been at the centre of Hazel's world.
___
Writing, theatre, art, reading, travel, and puzzles were more than interests.They became the building blocks of a perspective that values observation, imagination, and human connection.
These early influences continue to shape the way she approaches communication, leadership, problem-solving, and innovation today.
Understanding People, Stories And Behaviour
Hazel’s educational journey reflects a strong evolution of thought, from a humble all-girls school to BSS, École Mondiale, FLAME, Purdue University, LSE, and Oxford.
With a foundation across literature, psychology, organizational behaviour, economics, and creative writing, her education shaped a deeper understanding of people, stories, decisions, and culture.
This multidisciplinary background provided more than subject expertise. It developed a deeper understanding of how people think, communicate, make decisions, and engage with ideas.
Today, this perspective influences her approach to brand strategy, business leadership, creative problem-solving, and innovation
Building Ideas With Intention
Hazel’s professional evolution was never about simply moving from one role to another. Each chapter began with a question she wanted to understand more deeply.
At Ogilvy & Mather, she entered advertising to understand what truly influences people: why they choose, trust, remember, and buy. It was where she learned how insight, emotion, and timing shape consumer decisions.
Through The QWERTY Ink, she saw that many businesses were struggling to adapt to the digital world, often without the clarity or guidance they needed. She built the company to help brands communicate better, evolve smarter, and grow with confidence.

For Hazel, creativity is not simply about expression. It is about creating value.
Whether developing campaigns, building businesses, shaping brands, or designing experiences, her work is guided by the belief that ideas should solve problems, spark conversations, build trust, and inspire action.
This balance of strategic thinking and creative exploration continues to define every project she undertakes.
Beyond The Titles
Beyond her professional achievements, Hazel remains deeply connected to the creative pursuits that have shaped her perspective throughout her life.
Art, theatre, writing, travel, puzzles, research, and exploration continue to fuel her curiosity and inspire new ways of thinking.
Through The Maze of Haze, she embraces a personal creative journey centred around experimentation, storytelling, abstraction, and self-expression.
