London-based, inspired globally.

Before pursuing art history, I built my career in New York's advertising industry, developing creative campaigns and brand narratives for global clients including Google and Diageo. Working at the intersection of strategy, culture, and design taught me how powerful stories are built—through images, experiences, and the objects that carry meaning.

My work ranged from leading experiential marketing initiatives for Bumble to supporting large-scale campaigns and cultural partnerships for brands such as Smirnoff. These experiences sharpened my ability to think creatively, manage complex projects, and translate ideas into engaging experiences for diverse audiences.

Today, those same skills inform my work in museums and art history. Whether researching material culture, interpreting collections, or considering how exhibitions connect with visitors, I remain interested in how visual storytelling shapes the way we understand culture. Although the subject matter has changed, the central question has remained the same: how do stories move people?

My long-term ambition is to contribute to the cultural institutions that shape how we understand art, fashion, and visual culture. Whether through museums, fashion houses, archives, or editorial platforms, I am interested in bringing rigorous research together with compelling storytelling to create meaningful experiences for diverse audiences.

My work is grounded in the study of material culture, with particular interests in textiles, dress, photography, and the histories of objects. I hope to contribute to exhibitions, publications, and collections that reveal the ways material culture reflects identity, craftsmanship, and cultural exchange across time.

As my career develops, I aim to curate exhibitions, publish original research, and collaborate across disciplines, creating projects that bridge scholarship with contemporary culture. Looking ahead, I intend to pursue a PhD while continuing to teach and write, believing that research has its greatest impact when it reaches audiences beyond academia.

Much of my inspiration comes from the worlds that exist beyond the library and museum. Having spent years in fast-paced creative environments between New York and London, I have become increasingly drawn to the moments that invite us to slow down—to look closely, to linger, and to notice the details that might otherwise pass by.

I find the richest encounters with art—and with life—come from slowing down enough to notice the weave of a centuries-old textile, the patina of a well-loved object, the atmosphere of a city at golden hour, or the conversations that unfold around a shared table. Whether wandering a flea market, discovering a neighborhood bookshop, exploring a new city, or searching for the best vegetarian meal along the way, I am drawn to places where history feels tangible and culture is experienced rather than observed.

I have a lasting affection for twentieth-century fashion and the stories woven into the garments we carry through life—from the effortless elegance of Jane Birkin to the craftsmanship and character of pieces designed to be lived in rather than simply admired. Music also shapes my imagination; Fleetwood Mac and The Rolling Stones are constant companions, soundtracking train journeys, afternoons spent writing, and visits to museums both familiar and new.

Above all, I am inspired by people—the conversations shared over long dinners, the friendships formed while traveling, and the exchange of ideas across cultures. Those experiences continually remind me that art history is ultimately about human stories. They shape not only how I experience the world, but also how I hope to contribute to it through research, writing, and cultural engagement.
