A bilingual (English and French) freelance journalist, editor and copy writer, I write about travel, food, retail, design, and trends in the global lifestyle sectors. I was editor of the London-based Good Hotel Guide, and consulted on and rewrote the DK Eyewitness Travel Top 10 Paris guide book. My travel writing has been published in Time Out Paris, SilverKris magazine and Beirut-based A magazine; I am also a contributor to international trends and insight publications Viewpoint magazine and Protein Journal. I have completed editorial projects for global creative consultancies FranklinTill, Winkreative and Anyways (formerly INT Works). Collaborations on copy and UX writing include Mastercard, Unilever, Nike, Hailo and Travelex.
