As a content creator, I’ve been lucky enough to work on a vast range of projects, mainly promoting youth political education and social movements, garnering over 440,000 likes and over 2 million views on my TikTok.
Some of the brands I’ve worked with include Bloomsbury, Penguin, Hachette, Verso Books, SquarePeg, Headline, Left Book Club, Casual Readers Club and more. I’m always open to new collaboration ideas, so feel free to get in touch if you’re working on something exciting.
Here you can have a look at some of my work:
I’ve also designed, curated and marketed my own collections with woman-owned sustainable business Good Girl Gang. These collections have sold internationally and featured as a best-selling range at Boxpark Shoreditch in 2021.
I launched my Peng and Political and Humanitarian Hotgirl collaboration with woman-owned brand Good Girl Gang. This collection aimed to inspire young women to be outspoken and unapologetic in their politics. Our collection also donated 5% of all proceeds to Sistah Space, a non-profit that protects women of African heritage from domestic abuse.
The collection can be shopped here.

In 2021, I directed, produced, filmed and edited my first social documentary. When I was visiting my mum’s village in the North East of Turkey, I decided to document the olive harvest.
I spoke to local trade unionists, labourers and farmers to hear their perspectives on how environmental and political change is impacting them and their harvests.
The documentary aims to archive oral histories with the interviews throughout, and the process was was transformative for my own understanding of the politics of land, agriculture, tradition and labour in Turkey.
