Zoe Mallett - #BadassGal - Badass.Gal

#587 Zoe Mallett

Zoe is amazing! She is an ICF accredited coach and podcast host, who helps some of London’s most pioneering female creatives, founders and business owners excel in their space by arming them with fundamental self-development techniques to help them reach their full potential - including some of the wonderful women on the Badass Gal site.

Zoe's mission is to fill the world with people knowing and loving themselves. She works to make coaching accessible for everyone and gives a large portion of time to creating initiatives that support this - including monthly collaborations with Woman to Woman, and Note to Self. She has also set up a coaching scheme called Coach Hood for young people that wouldn't usually have access to this kind of service.

Because her work never stops (!), she's recently been announced as a radio resident on Foundation FM Cut. Her show 'Cut the Bullsh*t' Zoe brings her vibrant and relatable no-nonsense approach to the female-fronted radio station, tackling her followers’ life issues, covering career goals and confidence blockers to toxic friendships, finding love and managing difficult family relationships.

Zoe is one of the great ones behind the scenes and it's about time she was recognised too!

Jas Nandoo - badass.gal - #badassgal

#569 Jas Nandoo

Where most people wouldn’t bat an eye, Jas kicks down the door. She’s got no problem challenging behaviour that needs changing. She’s ballsy and vocal, and we love her for it. She balances both work and uni, but still has time to change the world. People don’t realise what’s about to hit them when she graduates and sets foot in industry!

Hazel McIntosh - #badassgal - badass.gal

#542 Hazel McIntosh

Hazel is my best friend of 20 years! She’s got a creative fire that burns in every colour! One of the most hard working dedicated people I know, who is always there and never lets you down. Corona stopped her up and coming job and back up job (yes she’s very organised). She’s currently working in a secondary school full time (she’s got hella patience) AND managed to get a temporary design associate role she does after school hours for Coventry City of Culture Trust (energy for days) AND she keeps up her side hustle (like how?). Honestly I’m writing this because it annoys me someone so great is a risk of slipping through the cracks as the current climate see’s limited job opportunities and internships that are only 3 months long (not long enough when you have keep finding limited internships to pay rent). She wants to go into experience design and I’m hoping this might give her the boost of exposure. She’s a creative meets art director meets costume designer meets experience designer meets your hyper 80s mum. This gal is badass.

Youmna Hazzaa - Badass Gal

Youmna Hazzaa

Youmna is an Egyptian hybrid creative who grew up all around the world. This has made her extremely empathetic, interested in all things new and different, as well as an extrovert who survives by being around people. (Seriously, don't leave her alone.)

Youmna is currently living in Edinburgh and continuing to survive '2020'. She graduated from her Master's in Creative Advertising, won 2 D&AD New Blood Pencils, won a Creative Conscious Award, and won Cream Collective 2020 all under the pandemic.

She's won her first pitch and got an advert on STV for Blood Cancer UK before even graduating - that says it all, doesn't it?
She's also been featured in Campaign Magazine and Ads of the World.

Aside from advertising, Youmna loves music, films, art, photography, interior design.. and singing in the car.

"Youmna is a crazy ball of energy that's always ahead of the game and thinking of the next big thing." - Elise, Creative at BBDO.

"Hard-working, exciting, up, and coming creative. Recent winner of two D&AD young blood pencils, although she never mentions it! Genuinely great fun to work with." - Neil Gilmartin, Head of Creative at STV.
