Creative Lead / Producer / Writer

Creative Lead & producer with experience working across brand, digital, editorial, packaging, graphic design and film. I work at the intersection of creative direction and production — shaping creative vision and leading projects from concept to execution.

Alongside my creative work, I have 10+ years of professional experience in coffee, including barista work, cupping, quality control, green buying, consulting, journalism and writing.
