Hello! I am an arts and culture journalist, podcast producer, public speaker and independent tarot researcher based in Nottinghamshire.

I founded the British Tarot Archive and created Tarot Interviews, an international interview platform where I draw tarot cards to guide conversations with bestselling authors, musicians and cultural figures.

In 2026, I presented my research at Goldsmiths, University of London; Tate Britain; and the Society of Antiquaries of London, one of Britain's oldest learned societies, established by Royal Charter in 1751. My speaking engagements have explored tarot as cultural heritage, the life and artistic legacy of Pamela Colman Smith, and the fascinating stories preserved in historical objects.

I have a fascination with hidden stories behind familiar things: the real human lives that might be tucked away in century-old tarot cards, the ways traditions survive as they pass from hand to hand, and the connections between art, history, storytelling and technology.

Much of my research focuses on the iconic Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot, the extraordinary life and world of artist Pamela Colman Smith, and tarot as a vibrant, continuous thread in Britain's cultural history. Through the British Tarot Archive, I explore how everyday objects can reveal extraordinary connections between people throughout history.

My talks start with that spark of curiosity. I find a little thread, pull on it, and see where it leads us. Sometimes that thread is an easily overlooked detail in a single card. Other times it is a 400-year-old witchcraft trial, a forgotten connection between Victorian theatre and tarot, or the simple question of whether an everyday mobile phone can do the job of thousands of pounds' worth of podcast studio technology.

Alongside my research and public speaking, I produce independent journalism and podcasts, bringing together voices from literature, music, film and the arts. My work combines archival research with contemporary storytelling, finding accessible and engaging ways to share historical discoveries with wider audiences.

Above all, my sessions are crafted for curious minds. You do not need to arrive knowing anything about tarot, art history or cultural heritage. Just bring your enthusiasm and we will explore it together.
