Jaya Modi
Associate Editor
modi.jaya@gmail.com
Jaya is a recent postgraduate from LCC, UAL. Her continued education in Graphic and Media Design sparked her keen interest in visual cultures and communication. As a creative she is drawn to anthropocentric themes, and believes in designing with a strong amalgamation of theory and praxis. Constantly curious of forms and functionalities, she is often found spending time around peculiarities, or calculating how many fries she can stuff into her mouth at one go.

Renee O'Drobinak
Reviews Editor
One half of the publishing performance super-house that is Ladies of the Press, Renee is finding a moment within her packed schedule of printing, research, writing and creating animations about fish (one of her favourite subjects) to bring her critical and occasionally absurdist eye to our reviews section. She admits wholeheartedly to being here mainly for the Derrida jokes and to perhaps one day emulate her hero Georges Perec by constructing an entire review without using the letter 'E'...
