London / Other

G.F. Smith's permanent showroom, in Central London. Visits are by appointments only — But I would definitely recommend making the visit. All of their stocks are beautifully archived, along with example publications, and a rotating series of paper installations in both the window & basement, courtesy of Made Thought.

Copenhagen / Place

A Kilometer stone (circa 1925) stands directly outside Nørreport station, in Copenhagen K. It's easy to pass by, but definitely worth noting if you're in the area — The typographic work on it is incredible.

Copenhagen / Park

Especially lovely in the autumn, Frederiksberg Have is a really grand park in the middle of the district— Freckled with ponds, streams, and an old palace atop a hill in its centre.

Copenhagen / Museum

Copenhagen / Creative Space

A lovely co-working space & café, in my favourite neighbourhood in Copenhagen. The community here is warm & welcoming, and the space itself is a dream. Hardwood floors, dusted gem-tone walls, designer furniture, Depanneur coffee, and great lighting in a period building. If you're freelancing within the city for the long-term, or for the short — I'd wholly recommend having a visit.

Copenhagen / Park

Nestled just north of the city, Dyrehaven is a vast, surreal landscape of meadows, castles, and gnarled fairy-tale like forests — Inhabited by a seemingly infinite population of wild deer. Lovely for runs, strolls, woodland adventures, and the like.

Cambridge / Art

An idyllic little gallery & permanent collection in the former home of Jim & Helen Ede. If you're ever in Cambridge for more than a few hours, it's very much worth the visit.

London / Illustrator

I am an illustrator, living in Essex with my partner and our one year old son. I studied Drawing at Camberwell College of Art, graduating in 2006. After college I continued to live and work in London for several years. I still regularly visit to shop, see friends and exhibitions. London will forever be an important part of who I am.
