Bringing the joy of zine-making to creative + compassionate people through bespoke workshops, community + content. Celebrating tactile, alternative media in the age of the digital.

Rooted in values of care, freedom, curiosity and play, I’m building an ecosystem of publishing projects that inspire creativity for people looking to engage with the beauty and slowness of physical media.

  • "A lasting positive impression"

    “We have been delighted to have Zoe work at the Southbank Centre a number of times, where she has facilitated engaging workshops for participants of all ages. Zoe brings a vibrant and friendly presence to every session and has a remarkable ability to really engage audiences. Her professionalism and infectious enthusiasm make her an absolute pleasure to work with, and she always leaves a lasting positive impression on our attendees.”

    —Fi Howard, Assistant Producer, Public Programming Southbank Centre

  • "The workshop felt like a safe space"

    “Zoe worked with The Photography Foundation on an incredible zine workshop, where our community of young diverse creatives had the opportunity to learn how to create A7 zines based on their very own personal manifestos and connect with other fellow creatives. The event was one of our most attended and was sold out! The feedback that we got was that the workshop felt like a safe space, which was relaxed, fun and a great way to meet like-minded people outside of busy lives. We loved working with Zoe, and we will definitely do so again.”

    —Bella Okuya, Associate Director, The Photography Foundation
