About me
Always on the lookout for copywriting and editorial opportunities. My background is in creating bespoke marketing content and copy for brands and companies in the fashion, retail, and arts industries. I’m also an experienced editor, researcher and journalist.
Currently as literary editor for fashion and culture magazine Wild Palm I am searching for female authors who write erotic short fiction and experienced features writers with a passion for investigating the strange and hidden stories that illuminate contemporary society.
When I’m not working I like to spend it writing prose.

- An historic neighbourhood finds its voiceSt James's is a picturesque slice of Central London known for its centuries-old bespoke shirting shops, the gentlemen's clubs along Pall Mall and its high concentration of Royal Warrant businesses. But this perception doesn't tell the whole story, and it was time for St James's to get a voice of its own. Client: The Crown Estate
- 300 years, one exhibition300 years ago, St James's Market was a bustling marketplace. But up until 6 months ago, it was mostly a taxi rat-run. We created an open-air exhibition for what is now a newly revitalised public square. The brief was simple: fit 300 years of history under one roof. In the depths of a research rabbit hole, we discovered an 18th century ballad set in St James's Market and went on to retell the tale across more than 100 vignettes illustrated by James Graham and narrated by Stephen Fry.
