I come from a transport background. Like so many creatives, after I left music college, I got a job as a cycle courier. Within a few years, I was running the largest cycle courier department in London, which gave me a rare insight into transport around one of the largest cities in Europe. I was in charge for a very fulfilling ten years.
The following decade, I reinvented my career and started a cycle-sport events company, reinvigorating cycle roller racing and organising other cycling races. During this time, I started campaigning for safe cycling and used the organising skills I had developed to help Stop Killing Cyclists.
Stop Killing Cyclists was instrumental in helping enable mass safe cycling in London. As I learned more about the campaigning world, I moved into climate campaigning with Extinction Rebellion, Just Stop Oil and the Climate Media Coalition. Often, you could find me at the sharp end on the streets, frequently targeting the billionaire media owners.
Throughout my time campaigning, I’ve been pushing for the climate and transport campaigns to tackle the media head-on; consequently, I helped found Media Revolution.
