I am Liv, co-founder of Fluus, which has developed and launched the world's first fully flushable period pad. 100% biodegradable, 100% microplastic-free and zero waste, our flushable pad is designed to be used like your usual pads and flushed away to degrade away just like your toilet paper.
I started my career as a doctor, and the seeds of Fluus were sown in my penultimate year at medical school where I met my co-founder Aaron, when both of us were driven to reduce permanent waste in our lives. I went full-time into Fluus in 2019 and hope to remove permanent waste from your bathroom and our planet.
I am the Co-Founder of luna, the world's first digital health companion for teens. Mood, skin, pain, sleep and cycle tracking, medically-backed content, plus anonymous questions all serve one purpose: empowering teens, making their growth a less lonely, confusing and anxious experience.
I started my career as a Management Consultant at Deloitte, before moving to work at Boden, the fashion retailer. In 2020, I decided to go back to university to pursue my MBA. It was at Oxford University Said Business School that I met Jas, my Co-Founder, and we started luna.
love being able to do lots of different things and tie together a very interdisciplinary approach. Getting to speak to lots of different people and helping them on their journey is also pretty cool. As I’m a creative practitioner, my practice involves a portfolio career. I am an accredited relational dynamics coach and I love helping people feel empowered to work on obstacles. I am a freelance journalist so being able to report and share stories and give insight on how the world works is very nourishing. And then being able to write and produce and assist with other projects is something that allows me to learn and be useful to the world.
I get to work on products used by billions of people globally, and help businesses access secure and sustainable technology for a better future. Knowing that I can play a role (no matter how small) in making the world a better place, is what gives me joy.
Creating. Seeing the spark of an idea/design/innovation right through to holding the end product in your hands or bumping into someone wearing it on the beach.
It’s never a straightforward process but actually creating something from scratch and bringing it to life gives me so much pleasure.
Day to day, I love it when I see a story fall into place, whether in my own work or one of my team’s. We spend our time analysing data and other information to understand everything going on and interpret the implications, and the moment when everything comes together is so satisfying. I’m also fortunate in my job to be able to help drive PRUK’s diversity and inclusion agenda - something incredibly important to me - including co-founding Libra, a new network for women and allies, with three amazing colleagues to support the pursuit of gender equity in our workplace.
I learn something new everyday. As a journalist, I often find myself being thrown into the deep end when news breaks and I love that it gives me the opportunity to learn new things and develop new skills everyday.
I also love my job because of the people around me. I am so lucky to be surrounded by very talented and very kind people and that makes this journey even more worthwhile.
I have two favourites – the first is people. I’m very fortunate to have wonderful, dedicated and committed colleagues who really believe in what we’re doing to improve the built environment, making it safer and more sustainable. Secondly, I love a challenge and in this fast-paced changing world, there is always one in front of me.
The best part of any job for me is the people and the culture. If you’re surrounded by brilliant people who can challenge, motivate, and inspire you you’re onto a winner.
