A ‘lesbian renaissance’ is taking place in every corner of pop culture, introducing a fresh wave of authentic stories revolving around same-sex love away from the male gaze. By embracing diversity and countering stereotypes, brands can help ensure this wave of representation leads to lasting change.

He’s also the copywriter for Kibbo Kift Agency, a boutique PR and performance agency solely working with sustainable and socially conscious clients and has managed social media for brands including FENDI, Viron, and More or Less.

He's based in Manchester's Northern Quarter, where he writes local recommendations for Time Out, plays a lot of pub games, and makes a devastating mess in the kitchen.
