Hi, I’m Charlie, and I’m the Deputy Editor and Senior Writer at Thred.

I was previously the Editor full time at Thred before moving to Bristol in 2024.

As a music enthusiast I’m a bit of a nerd, particularly for pop culture news and album releases, and whenever I’m not making visuals for our website or editing articles for Jamie I can usually be found crafting playlists and making art on Photoshop.
