I create mixed media artwork for publications such as The New York Times, The Atlantic, VICE, i-D, ELLE, Crybaby Zine and brands such MaxMara, Lazy Oaf, Gail's Bakery, Boots and Kathmandu. I also freelance as an art director for WePresent, WeTransfer's editorial platform, dedicated to championing undiscovered artists. I frequently collaborate with artists in my spare time, too, and have been curating and self-publishing a popular print calendar for the past five years, selling several hundred copies per year.
I work in film and advertising as a director's assistant, art department coordinator and visual researcher, most recently on productions directed by Andrea Arnold, Wes Anderson, Danny Boyle and Lena Dunham. I started working in the industry as a director's assistant on Viva la Vulva, Kim Gehrig's award-winning ad for Bodyform. Earlier this year, I completed post-production on Blisters, a short film I wrote, produced and co-directed. You can download my full résumé here.
In 2023, I won the Aurora Prize for my short story, "Woman With An Egg Mayo Sandwich", which you can read here. During the pandemic, wanting to bring people together, I co-founded Nearness, a magazine documenting the changes brought on by isolation. The site encouraged self-reflection, open conversations about mental health and a rare and real opportunity to slow down and process what was happening to us. It existed primarily as a digital space but encouraged readers to get offline and create tangible, “imperfect” art. I commissioned, edited and art-directed all of the work published daily on the site.
