Bio

After beginning her career in London 14-years ago, Laura moved back 'up North' to immerse herself in Manchester's thriving creative scene. An advocate of the anecdote, storytelling is her one true passion. She loves to champion new talent in the fields of architecture, interior design, materiality and manufacturing, with a particular interest in biomaterials. Laura has written for a range of publications, including the Guardian.
