MAKING NEW WORLDS,
IN PRACTICE AND IN PROSE.
I’m a writer, with my debut novel Who Wants to Live Forever coming out in March 2025, published by Brazen / Hachette.
I’m also a strategist, researcher, organisational designer, facilitator and coach for the progressive movement and a co-founder of the consulting firm Align.
Currently, I am working on my second book (a novel about climate change, madness and mothers), teaching speculative fiction writing to frontline organisers with Migrants in Culture, and working on various consulting projects.
Some of my favourite recent projects include: a paper on creative practice and organisational transformation for UN Global Pulse; a report on how to respond to the so-called ‘culture wars’ for NEON; facilitating the AGMs for Greenpeace International and Fossil Free Japan; designing a new organisational structure for Jewish Voice for Peace; coaching leaders from Liberty and MoveOn.org; editing The Collective Imagination Practices Toolkit for Joseph Rowntree Foundation; creating a new ethical framework for Amnesty International UK; and co-leading a strategy review process for Doughnut Economics Action Lab.
You can read some of my writings which detail my approach to that work:
The Trauma of Zoom; Why Don’t We Just Call Agile What It Is: Feminist; Mission, Vision, Values, Metaphor; and Two Hundred Fifty Things to Know at the Start of a Project.
Previously, I was Chief Product Officer at 350.org, Co-founder at Level Up, Campaigns and Culture Director at Ekō (formerly SumOfUs), and Board Trustee at Free Tibet and Girls Rock London. I have also been a speaker and panellist for Ada's List, Allied Media Conference, Cheltenham Literature Festival, Glastonbury Festival and The London Festival of Architecture, among others. I hold an MA in Prose Fiction from the University of East Anglia and an MSc in Climate Change & Policy from the University of Sussex.
