COPYWRITER | ART DIRECTOR | CONTENT CREATOR
Aweh, my name is Ayesha Jardine. I’m a copywriter by day and a series binger by night. I love movies. My favourites are Star Wars (pre Disney) and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. I sing out loud in the car even if there is no music playing.

It’s like uncle Ben said “with great power comes great responsibility”.

The campaign builds relationships with a broader audience by encouraging them to share their stories of resilience with Corks.
