My Work

I partnered with National Theatre at Home to create commissioned social content promoting its theatre streaming platform. The collaboration introduced my audience to another way of experiencing theatre from home, while highlighting the importance of making culture available to a wider range of audiences.

National Theatre at Home offers a large catalogue of productions to stream online, including a dedicated collection of audio-described performances for blind and partially sighted audiences.

I collaborated with the British Beauty Council as part of its A Beauty Industry That Looks Like You campaign, an initiative created to encourage greater diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility across the UK beauty industry.

I took part in campaign imagery and helped promote the British Beauty Council's Beauty Census, encouraging beauty professionals and consumers to share their experiences of representation, accessibility and inclusion within the industry.

The census formed part of a wider research project exploring who works within beauty, the barriers people experience and where meaningful change is still needed.

I collaborated with Baileys as part of its Eurovision accessibility campaign, which aimed to make the Eurovision Song Contest more accessible for blind and partially sighted fans through audio description.

Baileys produced audio-described introductions to the Eurovision performances, allowing blind and visually impaired fans to hear descriptions of the staging, costumes and other important visual details.

As part of the campaign, I appeared alongside 2014 Eurovision winner Conchita Wurst, presenting content around audio description and discussing how visual elements from Eurovision performances — including Conchita's iconic winning performance — could be brought to life through description.

I collaborated with Hair & Care, the accessibility initiative founded by hairstylist Anna Cofone, to report from Sinéad O'Dwyer's AW24 show during London Fashion Week.

The collaboration between Hair & Care and Sinéad O'Dwyer created what Hair & Care describes as the first fashion show specifically made accessible for blind and low-vision audiences.

Guests were able to explore the collection before the show, feel garments and fabrics and access detailed audio descriptions of the looks as they appeared on the runway.

I attended as a visually impaired content creator and journalist, interviewing models and creating social content to showcase the initiative and the importance of making the fashion industry more accessible.

I appeared in BBC Three's Things Not to Say to a Blind Person, part of its popular Things Not to Say series exploring misconceptions and stereotypes experienced by different communities.

Alongside other blind and visually impaired contributors, I responded to common comments and assumptions made about sight loss, using humour and personal experiences to explain why certain questions or remarks can be inappropriate — as well as some expressions people often unnecessarily worry about using around blind people.

Following my previous involvement with Scope's End the Awkward campaign, I was invited back to take part in its 2016 campaign.

For this project, Scope partnered with UNILAD on humorous content designed to tackle the awkwardness and misconceptions some non-disabled people experience when interacting with disabled people.

I appeared in a comedy sketch inspired by one of my own real-life experiences, in which someone responded to me asking for directions by attempting to give the directions to my guide dog instead.

The campaign used humour to encourage people to speak directly and naturally to disabled people rather than avoiding interaction through fear of saying the wrong thing.

I worked with Channel 4 News and ITN on two reports for the No Go Britain series investigating the access refusals experienced by guide dog and assistance dog owners across the UK.

For the first report, I travelled with the production team across the country, interviewing assistance-dog owners about occasions when they had been refused access to businesses, services or transport.

I then reported from Westminster during a Guide Dogs parliamentary lobby, where guide dog owners gathered to raise the issue of access refusals with MPs.

Alongside presenting and interviewing contributors, I worked closely with the production team throughout the reporting process and contributed to editorial discussions about the stories and footage used within the packages.

The two reports were broadcast by Channel 4 News on consecutive nights.

I worked with Uber on an educational video designed to help drivers understand how to appropriately assist passengers travelling with guide dogs and other assistance dogs.

Appearing alongside my guide dog, I shared my experiences of travelling as a visually impaired passenger and explained the role a guide dog plays in supporting independence.

The film provided drivers with practical guidance on welcoming assistance-dog users and helped raise awareness of the rights and needs of disabled passengers.

I collaborated with the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) as part of its 2015 Gala campaign and was invited to speak at the charity’s Gala Dinner at The Dorchester in London.

During the event, I delivered a speech sharing my personal experiences of sight loss and discussing the ways RNIB’s services and support had helped me to live independently, pursue my education and develop my career and online platform.

The event brought together RNIB supporters, ambassadors and high-profile guests to raise awareness and funds for the charity’s work supporting blind and partially sighted people.

I took part in Scope's End the Awkward disability awareness campaign, which used humour and real-life experiences to challenge the awkwardness and misconceptions that can surround interactions between disabled and non-disabled people.

I shared one of my own experiences: asking someone for directions only for them to bend down and speak to my guide dog rather than answering me.

My story formed part of a wider series of films in which disabled people shared funny, frustrating and relatable examples of awkward encounters, helping audiences understand how simple it can be to communicate naturally and respectfully with disabled people.
