Awards and press:
In 2019 I won Young Journalist of the Year at the PPA Scottish Magazine Awards and was featured in Journo Resources' A Day In The Life series and a roundup of "Great LGBT+ Journalists And Filmmakers". I've been quoted as an expert in New York Magazine's The Strategist and Other Day and on BBC Radio London .
Personal projects:
In December 2024, I staged a pop-up exhibition at Photobook Cafe to celebrate the launch of Pulp, a zine exploring the erotic. The zine gained press from It's Nice That, Dazed, Huck, Stack and Polyester and is catalogued in the RCA Library and stocked in magCulture. It also exists as a Substack, which you can check out here.
In June 2022, I organised and curated Labour of Love: an exhibition of work by London-based queer artist couples at Vogue Fabrics Dalston, attracting press and social media coverage from Dazed, AnOther, Vice UK and i-D.
In 2021, one of my essays, on whether queer exhibitions should be reclaimed by LGBTQIA+ venues, was reprinted (and translated into German) by Kunsthalle Dusseldorf in the bilingual reader for the exhibition Journey Through A Body.
