Projects
- La PerlaLa Perla has been synonymous with luxury items for over 60 years. The celebrated Italian heritage brand made a name for itself by creating beautiful pieces that combine artisanal techniques with cutting edge innovations. Having begun as a lingerie and swimwear atelier, it now offers full Womenswear, Menswear and Accessories collections. I spent a year at La Perla as Global Online Customer Experience Manager, crafting the creative concepts required for product promotion and writing and editing
- WtRWtR is a luxury Womenswear brand with Turkish roots and an established flagship store in London's leafy shopping district of Westbourne Grove. Inspired by architecture and cosmopolitan living, WtR collections consider work and play to create chic, structured pieces in versatile shapes. The natural world peeks through too, with feminine colours and abstract florals adding a soft accent. I've worked with WtR since Spring/Summer '15, producing the text for everything from brand presentations for
- Roland MouretFamously self-taught French designer, Roland Mouret, launched his eponymous Womenswear label in 1997. Celebrated for strong, precise pieces and old world glamour influences, his distinctive styles showcase expert drapery, sculpted hourglass silhouettes, fine wools and figure-hugging crepe. Now over 10 years old, the London-based designer's signature 'Galaxy dress' continues to be a celebrity favourite. Below are some of the SEO-optimised product descriptions I have written for Roland Mouret over multiple seasons, including descriptions I was asked to rewrite for the house's most iconic pieces.

- Samira JasatSamira Jasat creates contemporary bridal gowns with the distinguished appeal of classical silhouettes. Custom-fitted and hand-embellished, these pieces are a true celebration of couture and its modern translations. Every detail is perfect - from their creamy palettes and lustrous satins, to their regal draping and intricate finishes. Notable clients include Miss Universe Great Britain 2017, Anna Burdzy. I created Samira Jasat's static site text including About and collection inspiration pages and all of the product descriptions for her best-selling Aura line. Images: Samira Jasat
- Mavele SwimwearMavele is a confident, unapologetically trend-aware swimwear brand with a spirited, bohemian feel. Fresh, fun and accessible, their pieces strike a chord with women wanting to channel the appeal of their favourite influencers without paying luxury prices. The British brand approaches swimwear like a true fast fashion item rather a seasonal necessity. Popular in the UK, US and the Middle East, Mavele swimwear continues to expand, tapping into the energy of an ever-ready audience. I was asked to help communicate the brand's sensibility to their growing number of youthful, social media-savvy customers. This included static site content like About page text and inspirational introductions of the founders. In addition I started their blog, contributing the initial posts that will set the tone and mood for an accurate portrayal of their message. This new narrative will be built upon to increase awareness, engagement and ultimately revenue. Images: Mavele
- Charles Ford LondonCharles Ford is a luxury luggage and accessories retailer that seeks to be the online destination for travel items of all kinds. Contemporary, international and informed, this British brand truly sells luggage as fashion, adopting a high-end department store presentation and an editorial feel that was missing in this sector. I spent three years working with Charles Ford as Content Manager and Online Editor. During this time I controlled all written and visual content across channels, moulding the company's tone of voice and aesthetic and delivering the fresh, exciting communications that helped launch the business. In addition I steered the CRM strategy, growing the audience and establishing standards for communication with different customer segments. Tweaking the content strategy in line with engagement and sales insights I was able to develop an innovative, effective cadence of contact within an industry that usually suffers due to the infrequent need to buy luggage.
