About me
Everyone hates writing about themselves, don’t they? But writing for others is what I do best. Be it journalism or advertising, as client or agency, for print, web, film or billboard, I’ve spent more than a decade telling stories in one way or another, from full features to large-scale campaigns to functional microcopy. I care deeply about quality, uniqueness and creating things with meaning – I enjoy unlocking those passions in others, too. And as much as I relish the nitty-gritty of writing and editing, I am just as comfortable plotting bigger-picture things – tone, strategy, direction – as part of the wider creative process.
