EDITING + PUblishing
A Passionate zinester now working on my 5th publication, creating communities through print is important to me.
​
Whether to showcase talent, comment on culture or talk about important issues, creating magazines takes a whole load of skills.
​
From managing people to marketing, fundraising, designing and editing, contraception zine also saw me organise an all-day free event with music, talks and workshops for over 100.
CONTRACEPTION ZINE
​
Created to address inequality issues around contraception, the publication gained attention, creating a platform to share experiences and information not easily accessible. With over 20 female contributors from Kenya to Leeds, I designed the layout, fundraised and printed, as well as organising an all-day free launch event at Stour Space. With music, workshops and a panel talk, over 100 people attended. It travels around with Grrrlzine library and is stocked in Pages Cheshire and the TATE Modern among others.

SUCCULENT PORN
​
Part social commentary, part joke, Succulent Porn continues the focus on inanimate objects. Fun and focused on house pants, aspects of the pocket postman are incorporated with bonus playboy playing card, baggies of plant-your-own seeds and stickers come free inside.

BRIDGE PORN
​
A counterpoint to a proliferation of dark and angsty zines, bridge porn refers to what Nabokov excuses as 'aesthetic bliss' and is unargumentatively meaningless. It's made up of amigo-sourced photography, sometimes meaningless quotes and a 'hot' centrefold pull out.

LEAM-O-ZINE
​
After returning from a year abroad in Montreal and Tokyo, two cities with very different but flourishing artistic communities - both passionate about print and enthusiastic about expressive extra-curriculars - I wanted to use my new found fervour for zine-making to fill the creative void in my home university. On top of an intense final year of studies and a heap of other activities, including dance performances and set design for a Warwick Arts Centre play, I put together my first publication. The motivation to make it happen and the inflowing submissions came from a talented community who didn't have any other place to share their creative outputs. Containing illustrations, photography, poetry and articles along a mild theme from over 20 contributors, I got to grips fast with InDesign and Kickstarter.
