I write for magazines, newspapers and brands. My wide-ranging beat encompasses politics, the environment and culture as well as food, design and travel.
My journalism bylines include those for the BBC, Monocle and BA High Life.
As a copywriter, I work with brands such as Spier Wine Farm to craft clear and engaging copy, ranging from press releases and blog posts, to mailers and taglines.
I’m the editor of the recently launched TONGUES (tongues.cc), which showcases “conversations with questioners, mavericks and mavens”. TONGUES is an initiative of Voodoo Voodoo, a creative collective which offers art direction, branding, design and editorial expertise to clients.
I edited and project managed the pilot issue of Rhino Africa Safaris’ travel magazine, Africa Traveller in 2013.
From June 2010 to June 2011, I was an assistant to Tyler Brûlé, the editor-in-chief of MONOCLE, in London.
