Simon & Schuster
Author of Strays: A Lost Cat, a Homeless Man and Their Journey Across America, an extraordinary true story about a drifter and stray cat, published in 12 countries, with 24 editions, named “one of the best non-fictions reads” by Bustle and recommended by New York Post, the Metro, Vogue Italia, the Observer, NPR, the Mirror, Booklist and other publications.

FST Publishing
Produced a beautiful, award-winning quarterly double-cover magazine that blends insightful lifestyle features and in-depth interviews with gorgeous, edgy visuals, as well as launching the digital edition.
Centurion Publishing
Worked as part of a London and Paris-based team creating and editing original features, high-profile interviews and hard-hitting reportage for the environment, style, culture and travel pages of this quarterly New York green lifestyle glossy, while concurrently editing another quartlerly publication Toni & Guy magazine.
Ink Publishing
Relaunched Voyager, BMI airlines inflight monthly, and transformed it into a more compelling read by bringing a quirky yet glamorous perspective to its food, travel, design and lifestyle coverage and big-name writers and photographers. Voyager was chosen by CNN among the world’s best in-flight magazines as “brainy, colourful and original”.
Green Guides publishing
Reinvinted this independent green lifestyle quarterly from its health-food-store incarnation into a sharper, glossier publication fusing sustainable living with high style and smart, fearless journalism. The Independent called Pure “flirtatiously rebellious in the face of staid green magazines” and its freshness and flair attracted stellar contributors and iconic photographers David Bailey, Peter Beard and Julian Broad. I created Pure on top of a hectic job as group editor at TIME INC.
TIME INC
Led the copy desk of Time Inc’s commercial division and worked across eight women’s monthlies, including Marie Claire, InStyle, Wallpaper* and Livingetc, producing and commissioning fashion and beauty supplements and successful cross-channel campaigns for luxury brands, such as Calvin Klein, Penguin Books, Dior, Versace and Elizabeth Arden.
Self-employed
Contributed to TIME, the Guardian, the Independent, Evening Standard, ES magazine, GQ, Harper's Bazaar, Harper's & Queen, Tatler, Elle Decoration, Wallpaper*, Sleazenation, The Week, LA Confidential, Madison (Australia). I also created the digital content for Felix cat food for Ogilvy & Mather, which won a silver medal in the New York Advertising Festival.
Self-employed
Straight out of university, I founded the London music magazine on a shoestring and turned it into a slick bi-monthly with blue-chip advertisers including Levi's and Marlboro cigarettes and corporate sponsor Rolling Rock beer. Lime Lizard became known as a fresh, authentic voice for indie music, featuring cover stars like Nirvana, REM, the Cure, the Stone Roses and launching talents such as Hollywood producer/screenwriter John Brownlow (Sylvia); Q magazine editor Ted Kessler; Emmy-nominated creative director Kevin Grady (New York agency Siegal+Gale); bestselling crime writer Lauren Henderson (Sam Jones mystery series and Jane Austen's Guide to Dating).
