I am a writer, editor and cultural insight strategist. I help brands, publications and arts institutions craft compelling narratives about the work they do. My work as a writer and editor with extensive experience in the international arts and culture sector, informs my practice as a researcher and strategist, looking at emergent consumer desires through a semiotic lens. I work internationally, with a focus on the UK, US and Turkey, and across sectors including tech, design, food culture, FMCGs, art, health and fashion.

I am the editor-at-large of TANK, an independent arts and culture magazine, and contributing editor at Cornucopia, a magazine about Turkey. A dual US/UK citizen, since 2019 I have been based between Istanbul, London and New York.
