Brand Partnerships, Editorial & Cultural Production
I've spent the last 5+ years moving between brand partnerships, event production, editorial writing, creative direction and community work, in the fields of independent publishing, electronic music, arts and club culture. Right now I'm Head of Partnerships at Temptress Magazine, conceptualising and leading creative brand campaigns. Previously Label Manager & Curator at Standard Deviation and Communications Lead at K41 Club. Experienced in curation, PR, production and writing, alongside community and charity initiatives.
Brand Partnerships
Head of Partnerships at Temptress Magazine since 2025, an independent, women-run art publication and online platform based in Berlin, focused on erotic art and pleasure. Responsible for researching and directly approaching brands, and developing and pitching bespoke concepts tailored to each partner's needs across formats from video to print to live events.
Jouissance Perfumes — Scratch-and-Sniff Story (2026)
Approached the brand and developed the concept — a short story accompanied by scented scratch-and-sniff stickers, with a scent developed by Jouissance, a tangible integration in print rather than an ad page. Oversaw production of the stickers and commissioned the story, developing the project end to end.
Jägermeister — Sinful Card Game — Video Series (2026)
Developed the creative concept for Jägermeister Culture's channel — a playful game-format video series spotlighting women DJs, built from research into the formats performing highest on YouTube. Produced the project end to end: idea, casting, shoot and delivery.
Carne Bollente — Amanda Lepore Cover (2026)
Built the concept around the cover story: Amanda Lepore photographed in Carne Bollente — an unexpected femme queer icon for the brand, and a casting that gave the label reach into an audience its own campaigns don't usually meet.
Temptress Issue 6 Launch at Schinkel Pavillon Berlin (2026)
Produced the issue 6 launch end to end — venue, vendor contracts and on-site technical delivery. Oversaw the recap content, making sure every post best represented the event's brand partners: TOURIST, GIZEH and Sokol Vodka.
Production and Events
Produced cultural events end to end — from concept and budget through to on-the-ground delivery — spanning cultural institutions and club contexts, internationally.
Temptress Issue 6 Launch — Schinkel Pavillon (2026)
Produced the launch of Temptress issue 6 at Schinkel Pavillon in Berlin, for 500+ guests — curating the night's music and performance programming and briefing the artists and contractors involved.
Standard Deviation — Showcases (2021–2025)
With Standard Deviation, produced and curated showcases representing Ukrainian and international artists at CTM Festival Berlin, Ephemera Festival Warsaw, ICA London and La Gaîté Lyrique Paris, among other festivals internationally.
Editorial and Writing
Contributed to shaping the editorial direction of Temptress Issue 6, and writes freelance across features and interviews about art, music and underground culture.
Temptress Issue 6 — Editorial Direction (2026)
Helped shape the editorial direction and theme for Temptress Issue 6, working with 50+ contributors and commissioning writers, artists and talent across six different covers — including Amanda Lepore, Santiago Sierra and Arvida Byström, among others.
Borsch Magazine — Choosing Hope with Saint Abdullah, Eomac and Rebecca Salvadori (2025)
Interviewed Saint Abdullah, Eomac and Rebecca Salvadori for Borsch Magazine.
Amanda Lepore Interview (2026)

Borsch Magazine — The Shapeshifting Lore of Honour (2024)
Wrote an artist profile on Honour for Borsch Magazine.
Creative Direction and Curation
Experience working across music, audiovisual projects and print, curating releases and directing multidisciplinary projects in Ukrainian and international underground culture.
RIDNE (2024)
Curated and co-produced RIDNE, a two-part audiovisual project highlighting Ukrainian experimental artists, presented at CTM Berlin, La Gaîté Lyrique Paris, ICA London, MOT Kyiv and Murmur Amsterdam.
RIDNE combines first-person videos shot in different Ukrainian cities with music by Ukrainian electronic artists. Through the audiovisual content, the project intends to take viewers directly to Ukraine, where people continue to confront russia's full-scale war.
Standard Deviation — Various Releases (2021–2025)
As Label Manager & Curator, took part in shaping 10+ releases across Standard Deviation's catalogue — including Together for Ukraine, a charity compilation featuring 65 international artists; the critically acclaimed Tysha by Katarina Gryvul; and Vertex, a compilation and zine bringing together Kyiv and Berlin — among many more.
Community and Exchange
Experience and interest in community-building and knowledge-sharing initiatives — from educational initiatives that foster diversity to panels, workshops and public speaking on underground culture internationally.
Music Diversity Platform (2024)
Co-founded the Music Diversity Platform, an educational project supporting FLINTA and queer Ukrainian youth taking steps into the music industry as DJs or industry professionals. The project supports diversity within Ukraine's music scene, funded by the Goethe-Institut Ukraine.
Panels, Workshops and Public Speaking (2021–Present)
Extensive experience in public speaking and contributing to panel discussions, lectures and workshops focused on underground culture, spanning my years at Standard Deviation to now. Have spoken at platforms including Nuits Sonores Festival, La Gaîté Lyrique in Paris, and the Atlas of Independent Culture and Media — Reset! Network.
