WePresent · From 2020 to 2024, I was the lead art director for WePresent, WeTransfer's beloved editorial platform, which reaches more than three million people a month. I commissioned the artwork for all WePresent articles, wallpapers and newsletters. In line with the platform's mission to be the most representative site on the internet, I sought out and commissioned emerging illustrators, graphic designers, animators and collage artists from countries underrepresented in Western media, and consistently championed work with a handmade sensibility. I also oversaw the design of WePresent's manifesto series, in which renowned artists such as the Guerrilla Girls, Ai Weiwei, Martin Parr and Roxane Gay laid out their 10 rules to live by. Below are examples of the work I art-directed for WePresent.
Nearness Project · In 2020, I co-founded Nearness Project, an online magazine documenting artists' responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. The site encouraged open conversations about mental health and a rare and real opportunity to slow down and process what was happening to us. Featured in i-D Magazine within a few weeks of going live, the magazine existed primarily as a digital space but inspired readers to get offline and create tangible, expressive and imperfect art as a vehicle for self-reflection and catharsis. I commissioned, edited and art-directed all of the work published on the site, including personal essays, comics, collage kits, photo series and playlists. Below are some of my favourite works of art, which were published on the now-defunct site.
Annual Calendar · For almost a decade, I have art-directed and self-published a bespoke annual calendar, with each month designed by a different artist of my choosing. Each edition features twelve female-identifying or queer artists working across disciplines, from illustration to embroidery, collage, painting and ceramics, and each year I design a page myself, along with the front cover. I sell more than 500 print copies a year, through Instagram and a growing list of independent bookstores and cafes. In 2024, WeTransfer commissioned a special edition as an end-of-year gift for subscribers, downloaded over 2,500 times. Below are some of my favourite pages from the past few years. You can get an overview of all past editions here.
