  Adidas Originals: Space Is The Place Panel DiscussionWas a great honour to be asked to speak at the Adidas Originals x Mixcloud event, Space is the Place. I led a panel comprised of Harry Fisher (Buyer, Machine-A), Thomas Gorton (Editor-in-Chief, Dazed Digital) and Taina Vilela (Marketing Director, Debop) as we navigated the subject of ‘the importance of community in a URL world’. Tailored for an audience of senior creatives at Adidas Originals, in anticipation of the opening of their new flagship store in Shoreditch, it was a genuinely illuminati
• Rolls-Royce: Website RelaunchI spent a sizeable amount of time towards the end of 2016 working with Investis on the relaunch of Rolls-Royce.com – working alongside the Head Of Content and Creative Director to specifically craft the tone, messages and content that will appear in various sections across their site across 2017.

  i-D: Should The Fashion Industry Be Taking More Of A Stand Against TrumpA think piece that I wrote for i-D on a broadly similar subject to a Protein piece I also wrote – this though is a much more personal, op-ed type affair. My relationship with (the) fashion (industry) has always been a muddled one – trying to square the scope for self expression and subculture signifiers that I really connected with, with its less savoury elements.

Visit ASOSplc.com to see the full site in all its glory. The site has since won a couple of awards: Gold for 'Best Content Aimed At An Investor Audience' at the 2018 Corporate Content Awards; 'Best Use Of Digital Communications' at the IR Society Awards

Senior CopywriterMAKE Beauty
Apr 2017London, United KingdomFreelance
It's a pleasure to work with the New York-based beauty and skincare company, MAKE Beauty - not least because 10% of all their revenues go to female-led cooperatives. I help them out with all sorts of written comms, from (re-)branding exercises such as new taglines to marketing campaign copy.
Feature WriterMR PORTER
Jan 2017London, United KingdomFreelance
MR PORTER were nice enough to give me a new monthly column to talk about various pieces of culture I'm interested in, tied together around a particular topical theme of my choosing. The first edition went live the week of the presidential inauguration, inspired by the departing Obama and his belief (like forebears Lincoln and MLK) in America as a 'great unfinished project.'
