Project Advisor w/ Free Radicals : Prague, CZ & remote
Interdisciplinary studio Hænke invited me to contribute to Free Radicals, a two-year research project exploring the intersections between plant biodiversity and artistic practice, funded by Creative Europe.
Through a series of artist residencies and living labs with collaborators in Spain, Portugal, Germany, Hungary, and Armenia, we will gather research and write an open-source toolkit for individuals and institutions within the creative and cultural sectors designed to shape practices that support plant biodiversity.

Writer, Editor, and Researcher : Global
I’m a London-based freelance writer, editor, and researcher exploring intersections of architecture, design, ecologies, economies, and social change. I work and publish across multiple contexts and formats.
I work directly with universities, research labs, worker co-ops, grassroots communities, non-profit organisations, tourism bodies, and innovative brands on copywriting, content strategy, and communications. I also consult into branding studios and creative agencies like Barkas (DK) and Standing By (AU) to create brand narratives for their clients.

Contributing Editor w/ SPACE10 : Copenhagen, Denmark & Remote
In this dynamic role, I wrote long-form articles, project texts, and program copy for the SPACE10 website, produced the fortnightly newsletter (16k subscribers, 40% open rate), and communicated complex ideas via digestible formats. I worked closely with freelance writers, graphic designers, residents, and project collaborators to edit texts from concept to publication.
