About me
I am an MA Publishing graduate at UAL. I previously completed a BA in Photography, at which time I began to practice the production process of publishing, by making various art books and journals. This experience lead me to pursue a greater understanding of the publishing industry at large, and the power of publishing today. My dissertation included research on contemporary digital behaviours, and how this can be utilised by publishers. This is a subject I remain passionate about, to understand the intersection of publishing and contemporary digital culture, though understanding consumer behaviours.
Projects
  • Podcast interview with Judith Wilson for Spread The Word.
    Podcast interview with Judith Wilson for Spread The Word.I sat down with Judith Wilson, (winner of the 2019 London Short Story Prize) to speak with her about her writing process, the British seaside and her award-winning short story: Jacking Sea Fruits in the Dark.
  • New series: Flashback
    New series: FlashbackA visual documentation that addresses the search for purpose and belonging, inspired by flashbacks and what triggers them. The series is in one sense, an assortment of puzzle pieces from different boxes, held together only because they've been forced. Not a complete picture, but fragments of different stories that could have been, but never were.
