12 local plastic-free and zero-waste gifts for Christmas | Localizz Hong Kong

PUBLISHED on 20 December 2019. A ‘list-ticle’ that I had written for Localiiz Hong Kong suggesting sustainable Christmas gift ideas that came in plastic-free and sustainable packaging, as well being made locally in Hong Kong. I wrote about the importance of supporting small local sellers in your area and why you should during the festive season. I also briefly mentioned the environmental impacts of plastic waste and the excessive carbon footprints it takes to order things online out of Hong Kong. I made sure to have a good mix of tangible and ‘experience’ gifts that would fit those on a budget. I had added some DIY ideas for those who would like to give more personal gifts to friends and family. I hoped that this article would help those live more sustainably - for the ones who are just starting out or who wanted some inspiration for gift giving!

Sassy Hong Kong | LGBTQI+ Books You Should Read This Month

PUBLISHED 19 June 2019. A feature piece I wrote for Sassy Hong Kong on which books to read to start off Pride Month (June), which had me researching the author’s background, the plot of the books, and the book publisher. I already had a fair knowledge of LGBTQI+ books being a creative writer myself, so I quite enjoyed compiling this list for Sassy. Pictures in the article were edited by Sassy’s Art Director.
