I'm Helen Morgan, a communications and content consultant (Maker and Writer Ltd.), based in London, with Yorkshire roots.
My background and credentials in a nutshell are:

How do I deliver my services?
I listen to my client’s needs and get under the skin of the brief; I bring fresh ideas and creative energy to deliver persuasive and memorable brand storytelling, helping businesses to build their brand and reach a wider audience.
Why Maker and Writer?
I'm a content creator (content maker and writer) and I believe that businesses can thrive by adopting and nurturing a “maker” mentality. An abundance of enthusiasm, innovation, creativity, experimentation and iterative improvement is crucial for challenger and disruptor brands and I champion that mindset through my work.
I’m an artist and maker in my spare time. I paint, regularly practice brush lettering/calligraphy, sketch, screen print and have a passion for learning new creative skills. I recently trained at the Slade School of Fine Art (UCL) and studying graphic design is next on my list!
I also love to write copy and create content, whilst working with businesses to build and articulate their vision, turning their ideas into reality. I work with businesses to inspire and engage through the written word and other forms of impactful digital content creation.
Maker and Writer enables me to combine my passion with purpose, aligning what I do best, with who I am.
