Strategy & Editorial

Cultural work across writing and production, bound by an editorial position that centers representation from inside the culture itself. Authored features for Trippin and MR PORTER. Production rooted in subcultures — Black British literary culture, Saudi Arabian poetry, London's queer community, London's roller skating scene — each strategized and produced from within.

The Task

Selected by MR PORTER's editorial team as one of the cultural sources interviewed for this feature on what the world can learn from life in Japan, alongside producers, journalists, designers, and consultants based in or specialising in the country.

The Outcome

Featured in the May 2026 piece authored by Ashley Ogawa Clarke, providing on-record cultural commentary on Japanese approaches to food, mindfulness, and everyday social etiquette. Quoted on the Japanese breakfast tradition and the cultural courtesy around public phone use, both rooted in personal experience of growing up in Tokyo. The piece sat alongside MR PORTER's Made In Japan edit, part of the brand's broader editorial conversation on Japanese craft and culture.
