About me
I'm student at Edinburgh University, currently in year of a degree in German and History. I've just come back from a year in Germany working for an artists' residency in Leizpig as an assistant curator. On top of this, I write freelance for Hyponik magazine and Loose Lips, reviewing contemporary electronic music and interviewing talent. I also co-run my own club night here in Edinburgh, Texture, with a focus on pushing challenging underground music. I also have experience in web-based content creation, having previously interned with Barcroft Media in London.

    Since September 2017 I have been a contributor for London-based magazine Hyponik. This role has seen me regularly reviewing contemporary electronic music and conducting interviews with internationally respected artists. This allows me to combine my passion for journalism with my knowledge of electronic music to cater to Hyponik’s sizeable online readership. It has also given me experience with professional editorial relationships.

    Edinburgh, United KingdomFreelance
    Following my experience with holding club DJ residencies throughout Edinburgh during my first year of university I decided to take the next step and found a collective focused on showcasing underground electronic music in the city. This has not only given me invaluable experience in handling large amounts of money, quantifying risks and maintaining professional relationships with agencies over email, it has also broadened my knowledge of electronic music into a more professional capacity and given me extensive experience in social media profiling and developing the personality of a brand in a competitive sphere. I’m familiar with the need faced by online platforms to combine several social media sites to maintain an active online presence to cultivate a healthy readership.
