I’m a London based design editor, writer, critic and lecturer. In September 2014, I co-launched the bi-annual print magazine Dirty Furniture, which takes a lateral approach to writing about design. As an independent writer my reviews, news stories and features have appeared in publications including Frieze, Disegno, Domus, Form (De), Form (Se), Abitare, Modern Design Review and DAMn. I am a contributing editor at Icon, following my role in house as design editor.Besides writing, I have worked as a lecturer and run workshops on design writing at the Royal College of Art, Central Saint Martins, Kingston, London Metropolitan University, Westminster, and Regents. I also work as a consultant, helping design companies to editorialise their brand. In 2012, I graduated with an MA in Critical Writing in Art & Design from the Royal College of Art.
