About Alphabet Soup
Alphabet Soup is a website dedicated to educating about lesser known sexualities and gender identities.
It was born in November 2016 in a little coffee shop in Bath, initially as a single event. Since then, our ambitions have grown. Today, you are witnessing months of work from the core team and countless other individuals.
The Team

Nathan Maradei
co-founder & content curator
they/them
non-binary
queer (pansexual, grey-aromantic)
Nathan’s a final year Creative Writing student at Bath Spa, where they are the LGBTQ+ Liberation Representative within the Students’ Union and run the LGBTQ+ Society. They moved to the UK from Greece a few years ago and have clearly been consumed with a never-ending obsession with all things queer ever since. That, and cats.

Lu Bailey
co-founder & project coordinator
they/them
greygender
panromantic asexual
Having studied Creative Writing with Publishing at university, Lu now juggles freelance writing and web design with being a full-time Starbucks barista. They struggle to sleep without listening to Radio 4, or wake up without reading the Guardian. They also own thirty-three different varieties of tea, and twenty mugs.

Tommy Ryan
head of design
he/him
cisgender man
straight
Amateur film buff, avid gamer and up and coming professional pixel pusher, when he’s not in-front of a screen for a myriad of reasons, Tommy will spend my time walking along the south coast of England or getting his feet muddy in the New Forest, always forgetting to wear proper shoes.
Tommy does not use any social media at the present moment.

Dan Lewis-Jones
head of liaison
he/him
cisgender man
gay
Dan is just starting his MA in Creative Producing, after graduating with a BA in Acting. When he arrived at Bath Spa in 2014 he came out as a gay man and has since had a passion for fighting for equality through art. Since joining Alphabet Soup, he has met a number of different people and is enjoying working with them to one day achieve world domination.
