About me

Hey, I’m Siobhan, a journalist, copywriter and content creator – with an obsession for unravelling the cultural zeitgeist and societal taboos. Copywriting: 'The Voice of Juno' - Your Juno is a financial education platform for women and non-binary people. I am the copywriter for Juno's award-winning app, ranked Apple's 'App Of The Day' and one of Apple's 'Top 10 Finance Apps' Content editor for Yuup - a digital marketplace for Bristol-based experiences that spotlights small businesses and local communities. Journalism: My work has been featured in The Guardian, The Independent, Refinery29, ASOS and gal-dem. I write about mental wellbeing, social trends and culture. I was a film panellist in BFI's 2021 'Woman with a Movie Camera Summit'. Championing marginalised voices and creating more inclusive narratives motivates me throughout my work. Three things: 1) I'm a South Londoner living in Bristol 2) I like pizza, podcasts and platform shoes 3) I'm always on the lookout for new projects that inspire me Why I write: 1) To share knowledge and empower others 2) To spark new ideas and conversations 3) Because I totally love it See more: siobhanlawless.com Let's talk: siobhansaralawless@gmail.com
