I am a writer, editor and consultant specialising in the arts, with a keen interest in the Global South, diasporic communities, cities and material culture. Over the past 20 years I have written for some of the world’s leading newspapers, magazines and websites – ranging from the Financial Times, the Guardian, The Independent and Al Jazeera, to Wallpaper, Kinfolk, Elle Decoration and Architectural Digest. From 2022 to 2025, I was editor of Crafts and head of editorial and communications at the UK Crafts Council. Before that, I was senior editor at Icon and deputy editor at Disegno.

In 2017, I founded Clove, a magazine and online platform about the culture of South Asia and the region’s international diaspora, and the associated creative agency Clove Press. And in 2022 I co-founded We Are Here, a collective that explores cultural, social and political ideas from the perspective of migrant and diasporic communities.

I frequently chair public conversations, deliver lectures and participate in juries and interview panels in the sphere of craft, design and architecture. I have advised major businesses, architecture practices, engineering firms, universities, charities, think tanks and other institutions on their editorial, communications and events strategies.
