Keri initially started her career as a lawyer in the areas of Criminal and Prison Law, before ending her 15-year legal career as an Adjudicating Judge in 2016 to enter the fashion industry.
Since launching the brand in 2017, Keri has steered the brand to become a recognised celebrity favourite and her brand has appeared at London Fashion Week to The BAFTAs, and made its way to numerous high-end magazines, featuring in Vanity Fair UK, Tatler, British GQ and British Vogue. The brand is currently stocked in UK, London, Los Angeles and Canada.
Keri holds several awards titles and nominations, including Entrepreneur of The Year 2018 (Rise Award), Business of The Year 2019 (MTM Award) and is a past nominee for both The Great British Entrepreneur Award and The British Small Business Awards.

Keri is currently embarked on a mission to transition her brand to a full vegan brand and is a member of the SME Climate Hub, where she promotes sustainable and circular business models in fashion, transparency and traceability through the production and manufacturing lines of fashion houses, including her own.
