Media

I regularly contribute to print, broadcast, and online media to share evidence-based information on skin health, sun safety, and dermatology, with occasional forays into interior design. My work has been featured in national newspapers and TV, as well as across digital platforms.

 

This section features a selection of my media appearances, interviews, and published articles. If you are interested in collaborating on a media feature or interview, please get in touch here.
