The Studio

Author Development
& Creative Direction

Working with cultural voices - writers, thinkers, and storytellers - to become published authors, then expanding the remit of what an author can be through brand partnerships and creative collaboration.

Curating live conversations that are rooted in community, identity, and culture - including as Talks Tent Programmer at We Out Here Festival, platforming voices that reframe dominant narratives and create space for real exchange.
