What do you do?
I work alongside artists, designers and brands helping them to share their stories and collections. I am the editor and curator of content on Anyonegirl.com, and have just started a new side project called The Periodic Journal – a seasonally themed and released local publication.

Do you have any morning rituals?
Through the week I aim to do a session of yoga each morning before I start my day, but recently I haven’t prioritised my time very well! On the weekends, I turn my phone to silent and sleep in for as long as possible. Once I’m up, Nag Champa incense is lit, fresh coffee starts to brew, and some sweet tunes are turned on.

What can’t you live without?
The desire to learn. It’s what keeps me curious and what makes me love what I do.
Any bedtime rituals?
Good books, quite tunes, and low light. Also, my feet are always cold, so trying and get them as close to my boyfriend without stunning him is high on the agenda.
