I’m a London-based zine maker and workshop facilitator who champions zine-making as a radical tool of expression and cultivates belonging through shared experiences of collective making.

My zine-making workshops centre embodied play and wellbeing - curating a space where people can tap into their imagination and creative curiosity in an accessible, judgement-free environment.

I also work with organisations to bring their projects to life in print. Want to celebrate the launch of your project or campaign in print form? Get in touch! My visual language is bold, vibrant and accessible. I create zines that humanise projects in the social impact, charity and heritage sectors, infusing a hand-made feel into digital design. (See my portfolio for examples)

I’m the founder of sweet-thang zine, a community and indie press publishing work by Black creatives worldwide, EST. 2017.

Hi there,

Zines possess a magic tangibility: they’re radical, raw and ready. They have a rich history in independent publishing, having been used for decades by individuals and groups to communicate and spread ideas. As alternative media, zines possess a tangible quality that serves as a magical tool for inspiration!

Whether it’s for your team, talent or community, my vision is for creative and compassionate souls to express themselves and find belonging through the art of zine-making.

Talks, panels + press

An image split into two halves, with the first half on the left an image of a woman with locs speaking in front of a microphone, mid-sentence. The right half is a purple square with small handwritten text over the top.

It was an honour to speak at It’s Nice That’s Nicer Tuesdays in May 2025 about the latest issue of sweet-thang zine. Watch my talk on YouTube here.

I sat down with Katy Cowan for the Creative Boom Podcast! Tune in here.

I hosted 5 events for Creative Lives in Progress in 2025 - from their industry panels and portfolio reviews to their IRL networking events for emerging creatives!
