HELLO!
My name is Fiona Macleod-Iyer Picard and I'm a Scottish-Indian American living in Copenhagen. I've worked across experience design, social impact projects and creative roles within the food industry. I have a BA in Philosophy and Ethics, a BS in Designing Societies, and a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. I'm currently working on a collection of short stories about women and food. When I'm not writing or teaching workshops, I'm outside in nature or on café terraces with friends and family.
