Dance Policy
Dance Policy started in 2020 initially as a promoter for events. My plans were quickly changed due to the lockdown, and with a lot of free time, spare photography, and an interest in anthropology, the first issue of the magazine was published in May 2020. Dance Policy has since grown to 20,000 followers, printed eight issues, published hundreds of articles, and completed 700+ social posts. We’ve featured interviews with dance music hallmark names such as Bradley Zero, Charlie Dark, Discostan, Manami, Ruf Dug, Gut Level, and more. I manage a team of 6 core volunteer members, as founder and digital editor.
Silversmithing
With time to spare due to lockdown in 2020, I took a silversmithing course to the learn how to design and create my own jewellery. My work is inspired by natural patterns found in wood, water, and land. Jewellery making is both a creative outlet and a reflection of my artistic vision, translating patterns into unique and wearable silver pieces. My focus is on designing rings, with the occasional branch out to earrings and necklaces.
