About me:
: I'm a Manchester-based editorial specialist with 10+ years working across magazines, newspapers, exhibitions and digital publications.
: Covering design, culture, insights and innovation, my previous work includes reviews of major arts institutions for The Manchester Evening News, interviews with Oscar-winners for Conde Nast, and trend forecasts exploring everything from the rise of zero-alcohol bars to the future of mycelium-powered infrastructure.
: As Features Editor for SLEEPER and Contributing Editor for FRAME I've reported extensively on the global architecture and design industries, overseeing long-form magazine content and reviewing projects across Asia, Europe and The Americas. I regularly collaborate with international A+D studios to produce copy, comms, awards entries, project bibles, executive profiles and thought leadership content.
: I was also Head of Content at HIX – Europe's leading hotel design exhibition – where I curated multi-day conferences with designers, architects and operators from Accor, Rockwell Group, AvroKO, Ennismore, Mandarin Oriental and more.
: Now I work with market-leading ResTech platform Vypr, helping brands like Starbucks, Mitsubishi and M&S decode cultural and consumer trends across the F&B, retail, tech, health, hospitality, beauty, travel, leisure and lifestyle sectors.
