Having recently finished a BA in Journalism, I've now made the decision to continue my academic journey by pursuing a part-time MSc degree in Digital Marketing — all while working as an account-slash-new business executive at Here Be Dragons, a creative communications and public relations agency based in London.
During my three-year Journalism degree, I've had the exciting opportunity to put out a print magazine together with two of my coursemates. Titled Sincerely, Us, the 24-page publication discussed art, culture, and sociopolitical issues. In addition to being one of the co-founders, I'm also the magazine's creative director, masterfully crafting all visual content and taking care of its online identity across various platforms.
Back in April of 2020, having noticed a gap in the industry, I launched the now-defunct ECHOWAVE, an online platform that amplified the voices of up-and-coming creatives, artists, and journalists. During the website's two-year run, I've had the pleasure of working with a team of 20 contributors.
Ever since the launch, I've interviewed the New-York based feature film, documentary, and commercial director Ani Simon-Kennedy, Ellington Ratliff (the drummer and contributor of music bands R5 and The Driver Era), Brooklyn-based duo Young Saab, and Nicky Youre (one of the fastest rising stars on the horizon with over 15 million monthly listeners on Spotify) among other incredible artists.
On the side of all things, I'm a freelance journalist with bylines in Screen Rant, The Indiependent, The Nuance, and Variance. I also run a personal visual art-slash-poetry project Flognia, which exists only on Instagram at the time of writing.
