For the past three months I’ve been working with independent Jewellery store chain, Polkadot Gallery implementing new social media, marketing and PR strategies, as well as training a media apprentice. I’ve also built the gallery a new eCommerce website, which launched yesterday – you can see it here (WARNING: You may be tempted to buy amazing, hand forged jewellery). I’m pleased to say that I’ll continue to work with Polkadot Gallery as their freelance media, marketing and eCommerce manager.

I’ve always loved writing about the arts and as a hobby potter myself, it’s always an honour to meet a true ceramist.

You can read my feature, published by Devon Life magazine here.
Earlier this summer I was lucky enough to spend a day at Exmoor Owl & Hawk Centre where I discovered a kind, natural way of working with animals. You can read my feature, published in Somerset Life magazine here. I hope it inspires you as much as it did me!
