I’ve called Brighton home for 50 years and watched Brighton & Hove grow and evolve into the vibrant city it is today. I love discovering hidden gems, championing independent businesses and meeting people. At Brighton Curated, I’m always on the lookout for exciting opportunities and welcoming new members into our community.
Sophie
Staff Writer
Sophie has lived in Brighton for six years and sees the city as a canvas of culture and exuberance. "You can be exactly who you want to be, and no one bats an eye,". She spends any spare time between reading and studies exploring the city's historic surroundings - Arundel Castle is a personal favourite. Her love of the Medieval and Tudor eras has inspired her to write fiction, and she’s now working on her first novel: a sapphic Elizabethan gothic tale that reimagines the early reign of Elizabeth I.
' We are thrilled to hear about the launch of Brighton Curated. A platform dedicated to the city's more eclectic, 'hand picked' side is exactly what Brighton needs.'
