About me

By profession I’m a(n) (editorial) designer. However, journalism and the publishing industry have always fascinated me, when I was a teenager, I wanted to become a radio host but never really did anything about it - perhaps that’s one of the things I regret not doing.

I believe in the importance of journalism, although it has grown to have a bad name - probably because real journalists and quality reporting are so difficult to come by these days. Primarily in the mainstream press, but to some extent in the alternative media space, as well.

On the flip side, the technological revolution has enabled so many valuable and authentic voices to reach wide audiences which is perhaps one reason why we’re witnessing such harsh attempts to censor in the last couple of years.

I was born in Bulgaria in 1987, have lived abroad for short periods of time but I realised that my home country is actually not as bad as we Bulgarians like to think it is.
