I am a highly motivated and inquisitive creative thinker, fascinated by the constant flux of visual and social culture. I have 8 years experience in creative industries, over 3 of which have been working as a freelance Cultural Analyst. I’ve been primarily based in London but have also worked remotely from the US and Europe, enabling me to provide exciting, emergent insights for a range of markets.
As a artist, I have had my work featured in a number of magazines - including GUT, Terra Firma and Marfa Journal- and created immersive installations in London and California.
I’m enthusiastic, sociable and focused on learning as much as I can!

- Suburbia and the WildernessA think piece created for the Space Doctors blog. The piece examines contemporary representations of 'safe' suburbia posed against the symbolic unknown of the wilderness.
