About

She has been commissioned to write for The National Gallery, Tate, Nest New York, and Rimowa, using poetry to elevate experiences. Her second poetry collection Ceremony for the Nameless was awarded the Derek Walcott Poetry Prize. The book uses names as a philosophy to explore memory, collectiveness, growth, and the constructed self. A poem from her first collection In Search of Equilibrium is studied in the UK’s GCSE syllabus. The collection explores memory, grief, and resilience.

Theresa is also the founder of Your Envoi, a lifestyle brand that uses poetry inspired principles to create tools for mindful living. She infuses creativity into the wellness tools, designing them to deepen human connection and bring enlightening discoveries.
