What do you do for a living?
I recently left my day job at a nursery school to focus on Gooseberry, a relationships magazine, which has been publishing under that title since 2024.
Working a physically demanding day job and then coming home to build a magazine business was getting a bit too much, so I did the sensible thing and ditched the secure employment in favour of a project that is still finding its feet.
What does that mean day-to-day?
A typical day will look like getting up and out to take my daughter to school and then seeing how much Gooseberry work I can get done before it’s time to pick her up again. I’m the magazine’s co-editor and designer, so there’s always something to do.
What do you love about magazines?
My concentration is probably not what it could be and, with magazines being amazing at offering something new wherever you look, I’m always drawn toward them. So many colours, compositions and typefaces!
Each spread looks different, with so much to catch the eye. I don’t read as much as I should but the visual stimulation, and the energy and inspiration it creates is always worth the cover price.
Tell us one thing not many people know about you?
I’m a big Hereford FC fan and going to watch them on a Saturday afternoon brings a lot of joy.
Where can we connect with you?
You can find me doing bits and pieces on the Gooseberry Instagram page.
