I'm a writer.

Despite all warnings, I dropped out of a bachelor's degree at Cambridge University to go to art school. I graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art in 2019.

That same year I won the Michael O’Pray Writing Prize. In 2025, I was shortlisted for the Fitzcarraldo Essay Prize for the proposal, My Great Novel. Swaggering, literary, neurotic and a bit ridiculous, My Great Novel is a book about three writers – myself, my grandmother, and Roland Barthes – that explores the inexplicable lengths required of a life to make a novelist. 

I have published articles in The Architectural Review, The White Review, and Art Monthly, and had works and texts commissioned by BBC (in collaboration with Dazed and then with NTS), ICA London, SPACE Studios, Auto Italia (1, 2, 3), The Approach, Ginny-on-Frederick, E.A. Shared Space, Rose Easton for Timothy Taylor, and others.

I write an intermittent newsletter at Foul Aftertastes, which includes a talk/essay about how I got 100 rejections and inured myself against the indifferent losses of employment sought.  

Currently, I’m working on the great novel and the book about writing the great novel.
