As an experienced writer, editor and consultant across print and digital, I've spent a decade writing profiles, features, reviews and investigative stories on both emerging and established names in the industry. Specialising in art, photography, design and culture, I'm particularly interested in championing working class creatives through my work, and providing a platform for underrepresented talent.
I'm currently the online editor at It's Nice That, where I'm overseeing the daily output on the site and commissioning long-form thematic features. I'm always on the look out for new writers, tips, ideas and projects. Please do get in touch at aa@itsnicethat.com
Elsewhere, I've had work published in AnOther, Elephant, Port, WePresent, D&AD, Sixteen Journal, Creative Boom, One Magazine, Feature Shoot, Creative Lives in Progress, Whitelies, Coeval, Exit Magazine, SixtySix, The Brand Identity among others.
Alongside my editorial projects, I've worked with a number of brands on writing, strategy, consultancy, copywriting and research. Selected clients: Anyways, Lenovo, Adobe, Chanel, Wix, The Directors Library. Please get in touch if you'd like to collaborate: aylajangelos@gmail.com
