After wrangling words at RMIT University in the Professional Writing/Editing and Social Science (Environment) Programs, I began wrestling them professionally for Spook Mag, Warner Music Australia, Cool Accidents, Keep Left creative agency, Plastic Oceans Australasia, Peppermint, The Big Issue, Liquid Wizard, Creem, Casuals Network Press and more. These days I’ve braid my writing and freelance design work together and am studying full-stack web developing at Monash University to further aid my writing in the digital space.
Whether it’s an illustrated essay about the literary history of boxing, an immersive interview with a Swedish punk band, a vivisection of Tripadvisor reviews on a Polish Antarctic Research Station or copy for the assembly of an ergonomically questionable desk chair, what I seek remains the same: the discovery of each brief’s true core. I enjoy locating the elements that make a situation a story—I enjoy separating the signal from the noise.
Below are a small selection of past and ongoing projects.
Illustrated essays about songs so heavy that the lyrics are unintelligible. These monthly essays are as much a design experiment as they are an ongoing love letter to heavy music as they are a lyrical springboard into modern philosophy. Too much? Okay. They're words and pictures about death metal.
A selection of some writing for Plastic Oceans Australasia
Audacious reviews of reviews and a lustrously Illustrated essay about a Buddhist theme park.
A chapbook about boxing—it's literary past and my painful immersion in it's present.
A musical cornucopia of interviews, features, reviews and more from my time with one of Australia's most popular music websites. (Type Wax Volcanic in the Cool Accident search bar, press enter, wait a moment...then explore their selection of my stuff.)
