Single mum to Joe, aged 7, Judy lives and works in London, editing an electronic programme guide for Channel 4. She has travelled extensively throughout Europe, USA, India, Thailand and Australia, and has lived and worked in Los Angeles and New Mexico.

Having previously worked in the music industry as a freelance publicist and label manager, promoting musicians such as Keith Jarrett, Jan Garbarek, Pat Metheny and Brian Eno. Her last music job abroad was with singer/songwriter Tori Amos in New Mexico, where Under the Pink was recorded. Judy juggled with the production side of things along with budgets and musicians, and watched the creative process at close range, for which she was generously credited by Tori on the album as an ‘all round goddess’ (eat your heart out, Nigella!).

She has also worked at the Hutchison photographic library as researcher, and some of her own pictures taken during her travels in India were accepted in their collection. She also trained to become a Samaritan, which she found profoundly rewarding and would like to return to at some point in the future.
