Web and print for Crew Clothing Company
I've worked with a number of retail and fashion clients. Crew has a distinctive tone of voice and asked me to write product descriptors for their latest lines plus research and write articles for their seasonal newspaper.

Even managing to find the unmarked doorway to this hidden cocktail bar is no guarantee of admittance. If there’s no room, the door stays shut. But if you can access this prohibition-era bar in a former prison, choose from a fine selection of cocktails or have one customised.

Södermalm, with its vintage shops, art galleries, craft beer bars and intimate cafes, is laid-back and bohemian. Visit an exhibition at Fotogragrafiska, a photography museum housed in an old warehouse next to the water: its restaurant’s wraparound windows have wonderfully panoramic views of the harbour.

No visit to Sweden is complete without eating meatballs. Pelikan, a high-ceilinged beer hall setting with wood panelled walls, is famed for these. Try the meatballs with lingonberries and pickled cucumber, washed down with ice-cold schnapps.

Sturebadet Spa, once the haunt of Greta Garbo, dates back to the 1890s and is opulent in carved wood and marble. Indulge in a Turkish bathing ritual then gaze over Stockholm's rooftops while taking afternoon tea beside the crackling fire in the banquet hall upstairs.
