About me
As a creative content writer and editor, I have twisted and turned my tone to everything from press releases and advertising copy to TV scripts for a cartoon about a magic lion. I’m passionate about telling stories and finding creative and effective ways to communicate a message. With an eye for detail, I’m also well organised and a stickler for grammar and accuracy.
Projects
  • ASAI Hotels: House style
    ASAI Hotels: House styleASAI Hotels present a solution for the millennially minded traveller whose priorities are quality, value and authenticity. I worked with the team to establish an “ASAI voice” that would clearly communicate the brand’s personality. I developed a style bible so that current and future contributors can easily access the writing tone and ensure it stays consistent across all their messaging. See it in action at ASAI’s website: www.asaihotels.com
  • Unstoppable Rex Comic Strips
    Unstoppable Rex Comic StripsSandbox Global is an indie mobile game design studio based in Bangkok. Among their super addictive, commute-busting games is Unstoppable Rex, in which you guide the eponymous hero on his romping, stomping, chomping rampage. As part of the game’s marketing campaign, I developed the storyboards and scripts for these social media-friendly mini comics, so fans could “get to know the real Rex”.
  • Bangkok Tour for Travel + Leisure
    Bangkok Tour for Travel + LeisureThe southeast Asian HQ for glossy holiday magazine Travel + Leisure is beautiful Bangkok. I was among a well heeled team of writer-eater-drinkers-about-town they corralled to write about the city’s bustling neighbourhoods and the hip, colourful places you just have to visit, should you find yourself in town. Here I give readers the scoop on Lower Sukhumvit.
