Additionally, I have lectured about my work at Nicer Tuesdays (It’s Nice That), Cambridge University, The Hepworth Gallery, and the Vogue Italia ‘The Female Gaze’ 2016 and Masculinity Now 2018 exhibition, as well as displaying some of my work, and was nominated for the Magnum Graduate Award 2016 and the C/O Berlin Talent Award 2020. I was also part of the ‘209 Women’ exhibition which was exhibited at the Houses of Parliament supporting women in parliament. In March 2018, to coincide with Transgender Day of Visibility, I created a series of images for Adobe of transgender communities in Berlin and London to increase inclusivity in their stock library. The series was featured on It's Nice That, Dazed and Confused, Refinery 29 The Drum and The Independent. In April 2019, I completed my first solo exhibition and film called Hen, which was centred around the transgender and non-binary communities in the UK over age 40, and was featured on BBC Breakfast, Channel 4 News, Vogue Italia, Twin, Vice, i-D, It’s Nice That, Refinery29, Buzzfeed’s ‘Photo Stories That Challenge Your View Of The World’, 10 Magazine, Dazed and Confused, and AnOther Magazine to name a few. In June 2019, I created a series and exhibition on 'Chosen Family' for Levi's to coincide with Pride in London. The work was about “celebrating the diversity and uniqueness of the LGBTQ+ experience through a collection of stories by the artist. This was a collaboration with Queer Britain, the first LGBTQA+ museum in Britain. The exhibition was a week long in Covent Garden and received press from British Vogue, Creative Review, and It's Nice That. In January 2020, I featured as the cover of Riposte Magazine’s twelfth issue, taken from a series which focused on disability funding cuts in the current political climate. Following on from my work on ‘Hen’, I then photographed Diana Thomas for the cover of The Telegraph Magazine in March 2020, celebrating her transition.
