Work With Me

I’m selective about the partnerships I take on, focusing on categories I’d be talking about anyway — travel, style, home and wellness.

I’ve moved across the country and lived abroad, and most of what’s on this site was photographed somewhere I was going regardless. That’s the part brands tend to be buying: it doesn’t read as an ad because it wasn’t staged as one.

What We Can Do Together

Most briefs land in one of these three. If yours doesn’t, say so anyway — the interesting ones usually don’t.

01

Social & Content

The work that lives on the feed, and the work that never touches mine.

  • Sponsored social content

    Reels, carousels and stories, briefed and posted to my own channels.

  • UGC & content creation

    Shot and delivered for you to run on your channels or in paid. No posting required.

  • Product integrations

    The product in the actual routine, over more than one post.

02

Travel & Hospitality

Where most of the archive on this site came from.

  • Hotel & resort collaborations

    Stays covered properly — the room, the mornings, the walk to breakfast.

  • Tourism partnerships

    Boards and destinations, with a written guide that outlives the posts.

  • Travel partnerships

    Airlines, bookings, luggage, and the things I'd be packing anyway.

03

Longer-Term & In Person

For brands who'd rather be a habit than a post.

  • Brand ambassadorships

    Longer-term partnerships built around an ongoing, natural fit.

  • Event coverage

    Launches, dinners and press days, covered live and edited after.

  • Home & lifestyle partnerships

    Furniture, decor and the slow rebuild of a room, start to finish.

How It Usually Goes

No agency in the middle. You email me, I answer.

  1. 01

    Tell me what you have in mind

    The product, the timing, the deliverables if you already know them. If you don't, a sentence about what you're trying to say is enough to start.

  2. 02

    I send rates and the media kit

    Current audience numbers, past work, and what a package costs. Nothing on this page is priced, because it depends entirely on usage and exclusivity.

  3. 03

    We agree the deliverables in writing

    Scope, dates, usage rights and whether it's exclusive to a category. Then I shoot it.

Where to Find Me

Current audience numbers live in the media kit, so they’re never out of date on a page nobody remembered to edit.

Let’s talk

Send Me What You Have in Mind

I read everything myself, and I answer the ones that are a fit within a few days. If it isn’t one, I’ll tell you that too.

More about who you’d be working with

Let’s Be Friends

Once a month I send the things that didn’t make it to the grid. The hotel I’d actually rebook, what I’m cooking on repeat, the one thing I bought and don’t regret.

No spam. Just what I’m loving each month.
