Here are just a few examples from 2025: I’ve brought my experience in breaking down information to a plant labelling workshop at art, heritage and ecology … Read More
Well, 2025 – you’ve been quite the year creatively… Here are four projects where I’ve been able to get involved from the very beginning: My work on Vianne’s Confession for independent perfumer Sarah McCartney of 4160 Tuesdays started before the perfume existed, smelling its ingredients at Sarah’s studio.
