Editorial writer and visual researcher at Maharishi, shaping brand narratives through cultural and historical research.
What I'm looking for
At Maharishi, I researched cultural, historical and creative contexts to develop brand identity, and contributed written and visual material to editorials. I also participated in international production, including projects in Thailand and at George Harrison's former home.
My writing and editing credits include DAZED × IKEA and RUMOR Architecture Journal. At Co-StarAstrology, I researched trends, developed and pitched creative proposals, and produced and edited company copy.
As a researcher for Tom Schneider, I sourced and organised visual references, maintained image databases, and researched material for set design and visual development. I hold a First Class BA(Hons) in English Literature & Creative Writing and am seeking opportunities in editorial, publishing, journalism, content and proofreading.
