writing
Dive into some of my current writing projects. Though my writing spans many formats, I like to navigate the balance I find in life between things both beautiful and melancholic, terrifying and emboldening, dark and farcical, often through a feminist lens.​​
Two people on a first date. One of them is Ella. The other is Prince. It’s going alright until Prince scrambles under the table, fits a shoe on her foot and exclaims ‘FINALLY!’. Prince is the problematic, ignorant, misogynistic type; charmed by his friend’s alpha-male podcast. He met Ella at a New Year’s Eve party, but she was no fool to a red flag, and fled him before midnight. From his perspective, this was love at first sight and so endeavours to find her and marry her. Meanwhile, this was a non-event for Ella in her world of misogynistic encounters. Despite bursting at the seams with all womankind’s anger towards men, she feels as though she never has the right words, timing, or confidence to speak up. Will Ella finally have her ‘perfect’ moment to let her feelings be known when the pair reunite at the end of this fairy tale?
shoecel
no place like home
A feel-good mockumentary comedy series about three witches living together in the modern world. Inspired by What We Do in the Shadows, this series puts a feminist twist on the modern-fantasy crossover genre. Imbedded in their experience of young womanhood, in a world of online dating and male weaponised incompetence, is the open-wound of Britain's historical ties to witchcraft. Triumphing the power of female friendships, No Place Like Home, nestles into the hearts of women on the search for representation, connection and a good old giggle. What else are we doing this all for?​​​
