Writing

I’m a freelance journalist with interests in entertainment, tech, wellness and lifestyle. I’ve written for print magazines (e.g. Little White Lies) and online-only outlets (e.g. Business Insider); see below for a selection of work, though all articles are available upon request.

PRODUCTION INTERVIEWS

As a senior staff writer for Definition magazine, I write interview-based features, going behind the scenes on the biggest films and TV series.

I’ve spoken with directors; DOPs; art, production and costume designers; screenwriters; editors; animators; colorists; sound designers, mixers and composers; music supervisors; and VFX specialists – in other words, everyone (besides actors) involved in bringing these stories to life.
