I am a freelance writer, copywriter and blogger, with interests in design, sustainability, the environment and technology.

Recent commissions include features for the print magazine of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC); blogs for a sustainable fashion brand; a technology agency and a design agency.

I graduated from the Open University with a BA (Open) in English in July 2016 and with a BSc (Hons) in Geosciences in 2012.
