Currently based in Berlin, working on the Brand Management team at Highsnobiety. Adding projects when I find the time!
Since graduating Leeds University in 2016, writing and comms have shown themselves to be my primary strengths, and I have been fortunate enough to become part of the founding team at PUSH Magazine - a new print title dedicated to exploring and developing youth culture.
Brand building and curation at PUSH takes up most of my time, and it's a role I'm juggling with being City Development Manager (Leeds) for event discovery platform DICE.fm, and a chronic party starter and DJ with my event and media channel Youth Club Sounds.
Projects

Projects credited in
- Push Magazine — Art Direction + DesignPUSH Magazine hired me as Art Director and Lead Designer of the publications 4th and 5th issues, with the latter including a soft redesign of the magazine’s house style and formatting. With a dual-cover layout design, each issue featured two front covers, and in turn, two cover stars. Upon reaching the middle page, the magazine could be flipped over ready for ‘Side B’ – taking inspiration from audio cassette tapes and celebrating traditional media formats in both music and print.
