About me
I'm a freelance senior copywriter and art director, based in London but happy to go anywhere for a good brief. Strategic and imaginative, I love the kind of ideas that actually solve problems, smash forms and live and breathe in culture - whatever the medium. Most recently I've been offering brand, art, copy and content direction for a variety of luxury and aspirational brands including Bulgari, Pandora, Johnnie Walker, Tesco F&F, L'Oreal x Cannes, Olay, John Frieda, Zalando, Tally Weijl, WeWork, Bumble, Wella, ASOS, GHD, P&G luxury fragrance, Lumene & Real Techniques.

After listening in, they would receive a text inviting them to store the charity’s new number, 116 000, inside their phones. We leave au
  • GHD "Aura"
    GHD "Aura"GHD SHOW THE LENGTHS YOU’LL GO TO GET YOUR HANDS ON AN AURA HAIRDRYER Along with the launch of the curling range, we also needed to launch an innovative, high-end hairdryer, Aura. Not just a hairdryer, but a vastly superior hair accessory that whispered luxury bouffant hair; it had must-have written all over it. We showed the lengths women will go to get rid of their old dryer to make way for the Aura. The campaign worked across cinema, online, in salon, in-store, press and was supported by an e
  • GHD "Curve"
    GHD "Curve"GHD CURLS STAY UP ALL NIGHT LONG For GHD we needed to launch a new curling range which promised to hold curls for a whopping 24 hours.
