Update: From September 2024 my role as a full-time PhD researcher means I am less able to take on freelance work, however I am still interested on taking on projects and playing live shows where possible, depending on my schedule. Please get in touch if you wish to discuss my availability further.

Access Note:

I have ADHD which can impact administrative tasks ~ here are some things that can help us communicate well:

  • Please avoid sending work-related messages on social media or splitting a conversation across different platforms. Email me as a primary mode of contact.

  • If your email is time sensitive, please provide a specific deadline for me to respond by so I can prioritise it.

  • If your email has several different points please group them under headings or highlight important text. 

  • Please don't hesitate to nudge me if I haven't responded to you - I might have missed your email.

  • I may email outside of traditional office hours, but please note there is no obligation to reply outside of your own working hours.
