About
I’m a multidisciplinary maker, researcher, and content creator based in London, working across cyanotype, textiles, storytelling, and community craft.
I often describe myself as a “non-niche crafter” because my practice moves fluidly between different materials, processes, and creative disciplines. At the centre of my work is a love of making things accessible, collaborative, and rooted in storytelling... whether that’s through analogue craft processes or digital content creation.
I’m currently undertaking a PhD in Content Creation, where I research content creation as a creative craft and storytelling practice. My work explores the relationship between social media, creativity, and contemporary making cultures, how mamboing content is a craft in itself and am interested in the ways digital platforms can help preserve and share creative skills and communities.
Alongside my research, I’ve worked across the heritage, arts, and creative industries, combining hands-on making with digital storytelling and audience engagement. My projects include collaborative textile work with Kingston Stitches and Community Brain, community craft initiatives, and workshops centred around accessible, process-led making.
I’ve also created content and consulted for organisations and brands including Watts Gallery, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Levi's, and Lucy & Yak, helping them connect with audiences through authentic, story-driven content.
A large part of my practice is centred around community and shared learning. I teach crochet, facilitate cyanotype workshops, and co-run a Content Club for the Crafty Fox Market in London, where I support makers in developing confidence with social media, storytelling, and sharing their creative practice online.
Whether I’m working with fabric, light-sensitive chemicals, social media, or collaborative making, my practice is ultimately about connection and finding ways for people to share skills, stories, and creativity with one another.
