Writing
I enjoy writing. I research and write about historical and contemporary design, fashion and craft for magazines, the web, books, on my blog and on Twitter and Instagram.
As a journalist I have been writing for magazines including Uppercase, The World of Interiors, Crafts, Embroidery, Ceramic Review and Selvedge for over 15 years. I have also written online content for different websites. The list below (I do sometimes like a list) goes back just a year or so, to keep things short. But you get the idea.
