Works That Work (2013-2017) was a groundbreaking design magazine that ran for ten issues. In addition to writing, I was a member of its editorial board from 2014.

My 2014 article on the siege of Sarajevo explored how ingenuity and improvisation drove a new kind of economy inside the city, and gave people the means – practical and psychological – to survive.
In 2016, I travelled to Bhutan for the magazine and wrote five long pieces about the country, on subjects ranging from hydropower, to national identity, to Bhutan’s first cinema, carried on the back of its first filmmaker to remote mountain villages.
