About me
I’m an experienced, committed writer with a love of words and an MA in Creative Writing. Wherever possible, I aim for concise, bright and super fresh copy. For the past 3.5 years, I’ve been a copywriter for OLIVER Agency. Currently I’m a senior copywriter on the ADP account, previously I fulfilled briefs in a creative studio for Legal & General. I’ve also spent time as a freelancer, for 5 years I wrote for a diverse range of clients from charities to breweries. Earlier, I was a project coordinator for 8 years, developing European funded projects from University of South Wales. When not fulfilling copywriting briefs, I paint, illustrate and make laser-cut jewellery at my art studio space in Cardiff, Wales. I'm neurodivergent which helps inform my attention to detail, creative thinking and open minded perspective in both life and work.

Collecting testimonies from other writers and artists, illustrations, and through examples in literature and art, I discuss brain fog and how it makes us feel. I also made this visual soundscape about it. I think there needs to be a wider understanding and exploration of a symptom that affects so many disabled and chronically ill people, yet is so intangible and difficult to define. The link is in t
