Edifeye

A hobby I love. A creative project centered around showcasing other (more) creative people. Edifeye doesn’t do a huge amount at the minute but it’s dear to my heart.

The bulk of the coolest stuff we’ve done is around podcasts and radio shows with creative people I genuinely admire. We've also been involved in events, festivals, clothing, branded content, video production, panel talks and lots more.
