Digital Media & Culture
King's College London
Role: Marketing Associate
Introduction
My EPQ asked how young people maintain a distinct social identity in a globalised, media-saturated world. It's still the question that sits underneath most of what I write and make.
On Substack and Medium, I write about women, ambition, the body, media, AI and self-measurement, particularly the point where digital systems become personal and how they shape attention, work, health, identity and the way we understand ourselves.
Alongside writing, I work across editorial design, visual communication and independent creative projects. I run Loved in Colour, a mixed-media pet portrait business, and Interior Weather, a small range of editorial planning tools.
I'm Marketing Associate for KCL Createch, King's Creative Technology Society, where I develop social campaigns and visual communication for events, opportunities and editorial projects. I'm also a Marketing Associate for the Entrepreneurs Society.

Essays on women, ambition, the body and media
“Women’s ambition is often legible only when it’s adorned with a certain softness. The question we must ask is: what does that decoration cost?”
