About

Marketing | Partnerships | Community building 10 years ago, I cycled 50,000 km around the world and stumbled into the outdoor industry along the way. Since then, I’ve worn many hats: from weaving through London as a bike courier to telling stories as a journalist and photographer for leading cycling publications. Over the past 7 years, I’ve worked in-house marketing positions at Apidura and komoot, helping build beloved outdoor brands through community-driven marketing campaigns that have inspired millions.
