MY WORK

I’ve been lucky to work with some brilliant brands such as the National Trust, Aldi, bp pulse, British Airways, The Independent, The Guardian, Microsoft, Cow and Gate, Radio 4, HarperCollins, Peugeot, Nespresso, and more - here are some snippets.

National Trust campaign

I absolutely loved writing this handbook for the 50 things campaign. FUN FACT: this was what taught me that I could write for kids - a few years later, I got a book deal with Harper Collins Children’s Books, and this little booklet started it all off.
