About me

After almost nine years in editorial staff jobs on craft and lifestyle magazines, I've taken the freelance leap! I'm a confident copywriter and editor with solid knowledge of the craft industry. Sharing stories about makers and their art is a total joy and I'm really passionate about sustainable design, small businesses and craft as therapy. I balance freelance editorial work with crochet design and running my accessories brand To Be Adorned.
