About me
I’m recent fashion art direction graduate who also owns a sustainable jewellery brand (Jewelz by Mealz). My work explores a range of themes such as mythology, religion and mental health, often through a queer lens. I have been part of Dazed Club for a few years now and am using the app to find people to collaborate with and to promote my projects :)

We come across soothsayers who can see the future but not the present, Minos deciding which circle of hell the sinners belong by twisting his serpentine tail the corresponding number of times around them, politicians who set fire to cottages for fun (reminiscent of the Tory Cambridge university club who allegedly burned money in front of homeless people) ,
