About me
I'm an editor, writer and digital strategist who handles everything from overseeing print production to social media campaigns. On any given day, that tends to involve commissioning and managing a broad team of contributors, organising photoshoots around the world, helping brands find the right voice to grow their audience, interviewing celebrities, producing viral content (and then seeding it), putting on workshops, reporting on analytics... and everything else required to push stories as far as they can possibly go.

Featuring Tame Impala, Black Mirror, off-grid revolts, ScHoolboy Q, joyful activism, Mason Silva, Brazil's bregafunk scene, Conner Habib, Surfbort and much more... https://www.huckm
  • Huck: The Flying lotus Issue
    Huck: The Flying lotus IssueAs an experimental producer, DJ, filmmaker, rapper, composer and label boss, Flying Lotus has created an interconnected universe unlike anyone else. For the new issue of Huck, we asked him to assemble a collection of stories that reflect his friends, collaborators and inspirations – a growing network of talent that stretches across cultural boundaries. (He said yes.) Our challenge was to translate that magic into print, to map out the world of Fly Lo through original photography and interview-
