About
I’m a freelance writer, editor and researcher working within the creative arts and lifestyle publishing industry. My work has appeared in Motherland, Riposte, Elephant, Grafik, Draze, Print, UPPERCASE and Travel Dose.
I also write books about design (full details of which can be found below) and work as a researcher, having spent 10 years working as a cultural and consumer trend researcher within the advertising industry.
Right now I'm working as a writer on a meditation app called Envision Meditation which is brilliant and can be downloaded here.
I'm also the founder of Keeping Mum. An online space where we share stories about motherhood from mums without mums.
