about
I write essays, profiles, deep dives, cover stories and other features for outlets including The Cut, the New York Times, The Observer, Dispatch, Kinfolk, Lit Hub, Courier, Alt Press, Vulture, i-D, Guardian and more in print and online. I am especially interested in nature, folklore, disability, animals, music, TV, sports and the environment.
I also write copy, native content, newsletters, artist bios, and other words for brands, artists and companies. Former clients include Hinge, Paramount, Mailchimp, Google, Universal, Sony and many more.
I am the co-founder of CHOLLA, a values-first branding agency specialising in copy, strategy and tone of voice for earth-friendlier and vegan brands. Our clients include Gozen, The Lab, Desa Potato Head and Make Good. Reach out if you think we can help.
​
I also make zines, such as emo diary. In 2024, with the support of Arts Council funding, I created a zine called ephemeral, botanical that featured essays, photos and paintings on the subject of plants.

My essay collection OBSESSIVE INTRUSIVE MAGICAL THINKING is out now everywhere.
