About me
I'm a freelancer copywriter, producer, and brand publisher with five years' experience as editor at magazine and agency Le Cool Dublin (ceased publication December 2015). As a writer, I am attuned to tone and what the audience is looking for. I know when the crowd is baying for alliteration, and I know when it is cringing at it. I’ve written headlines and short copy, but I’ve also worked on video, advertorial, sponsored content, magazine/brochure copy, long-form journalism and radio. I have produced videos and publications, organised interactive science events and even gigs in churches. I have hosted events, speaking extensively on subjects like photography, design, advertising and fashion. I am a creative person who is always elbow-deep in some project, whether it's my own newsletter or a short-lived Pop-Up Stand-Up night called FOMO. I am a visual person and enthusiastic collaborator, I love to work with others, and pour passion into my work. I am conscientious and hardworking, I am imaginative and innovative. I can think of a solution to most problems by using a can-do attitude and ingenuity. I am looking for an opportunity in a creative and fast-paced environment and I look forward to working on new and exciting projects in the future.
Projects
  • Dublin Now Map - Visit Dublin
    Dublin Now Map - Visit DublinWe worked with Visit Dublin to produce a printed map of all the cool places to eat, drink, see and be seen. Aimed at tourists but plenty of fodder for Dublin denizens also. Designers on the project were Simon Roche and Alan Nagle.
  • Altered
    AlteredLe Cool Dublin was approached by International Music Day and asked to create a spectacular music experience in Christ Church Cathedral. We organised a line-up in collaboration with leading music writer Nialler9. It was so well received that ticket requests were four times the allowance, and we received over a hundred walk-ups on the evening. It was the hottest ticket in town, especially after we announced special headliner, Jape. It truly repositioned International Music Day as a contemporary, of-the-moment event.
  • The Le Cool Compound
    The Le Cool CompoundScience Week approached Le Cool Dublin, looking to get our 25-35 audience on board with Science Week. We pitched them an interactive exhibition featuring custom-built work from artists and designers with design backgrounds. We produced and managed this exhibition, promoting, staffing, and curating it.
