GOSSAMER is where I work across narrative development, editorial strategy and cultural insight for creative, design-led practitioners and businesses—to help articulate how their ideas are expressed, organised and understood.
I’ve held roles across editorial, programming and digital production for Australian arts and film initiatives, and worked agency-side in brand and content for a range of industries.
My criticism has been recognised through my participation in the Locarno Film Festival’s Critics Academy, Gertrude Contemporary’s Emerging Writers Program and Melbourne International Film Festival’s Critics Campus.
I completed tertiary studies in art history, curating and screen culture—finishing an honours thesis at the University of Melbourne on the films of Harvard’s Sensory Ethnography Lab, read through Timothy Morton’s theory of the hyperobject.
