As an experienced writer, editor and consultant, I've spent over decade across print and digital. Specialising in art, photography, design and culture, I'm particularly interested in championing working-class creatives through my work, and providing a platform for underrepresented talent.

I'm currently the deputy editor across both Port and design magazine Anima, please get in touch with tips, projects and PR for both print and online at ayla@port-magazine.com and ayla@anima-magazine.com. For freelance commissions and everything else, please reach me at aylajangelos@gmail.com

My work has appeared in titles such as i-D, Dazed, It's Nice That, WePresent, AnOther, D&AD, Crafts Magazine, Sixteen Journal, Creative Boom, Epoch, Useless Fighters, One Magazine, Feature Shoot, Creative Lives in Progress, Whitelies, Coeval, Exit Magazine, SixtySix, The Brand Identity among others. Everything I've written for It's Nice That can be found here, and Port here.

Previously, I joined It's Nice That as online editor after working freelance with the team for over six years. I came on board to oversee a new editorial strategy, lead the editorial team and manage the daily output on the site. I've penned nearly 1,000 articles during my time at INT, and commissioned dozens of high-performing features that saw over 50% increase in page views – personal highlights include a piece on creative grief; navigating the industry as an introvert; designing for the deaf community; why rebrands are starting to look the same; how design has impacted relationships; the importance of public libraries; and how to make long-lasting work. I was also the editorial lead for the annual Forward Thinking series in 2023 and 2024.

I've also worked with a number of brands on copywriting, strategy, consultancy and research, including Adobe, Apple, Lenovo, Chanel, Ace & Tate, Directors Library and Carpenters Workshop Gallery. I'm open to paid opportunities, please get in touch if you'd like to discuss.
