I’m Jess, a culture journalist in London. I write about the city, wellbeing, belonging, and the culture of technology – I’m interested in stories about how we live now. I’m also a copywriter for brands looking for help telling their stories. To follow my work, join The New Leaf, my occasional newsletter.
