I work where marketing, brand and visual storytelling meet — taking an idea, an audience and a culture, and finding the form that lets them speak to one another.

case study · internship

Working on a brand that hadn't launched yet.

Summer 2025 — social-media intern at WeBond, a London app being built to connect people through friends of friends. They were growing a waitlist through global events. My job was turning each event into content people wanted in on.

from the notebook three of six

Brands I'm watching closely.

A working notebook of marketing thinking — the brands and campaigns I keep returning to, and one sentence on what each is actually doing right.

  1. Jacquemus fashion · show invitations · 2019—

    Most brands treat the invitation as admin. Jacquemus makes it the campaign — the thing people wait for.

  2. A24 film studio · 2012—

    Nobody follows a film studio — A24 made the logo a genre people trust like a band.

  3. Bateel luxury dates · 1992—

    Same date your grandmother served — Bateel changed the box and the price, and called it luxury.
