My story

From chocolate and Nokia to the written word

In a previous life, I worked as an account manager for brands like Nokia and Lindt (yes, the chocolate people). I loved the strategy and the client relationships — but I kept finding myself volunteering to write the marketing briefs, the training documents, the newsletters nobody else wanted to touch.

I'd always wanted to be a writer. I even studied creative writing and marketing at university — and aside from one primary school teacher who gave me a C-minus in handwriting (the nerve!), most people weren't surprised when I finally made the leap.

The tipping point was a travel memoir I published in 2016. That little book was the signal I'd been waiting for. I left my job, went full-time freelance, and never looked back.

Since then, I've worked with clients across four continents — tech startups, healthcare businesses, manufacturing companies, jewellers, psychologists, travel brands, and everything in between. I've written blogs, white papers, web copy, email campaigns, press releases, and the occasional thing I probably wasn't qualified for but figured out anyway.

What hasn't changed: I still think about writing all the time. If you need someone who genuinely obsesses over the craft, who reads as voraciously as they write, and who will treat your brand like their own — you're in the right place.

How I work

What makes me different

(Other than a deep and abiding loathing of all things generic.)

🎯

Strategy first, always

I don't just write — I think. Every piece of content I produce is grounded in your business goals, your audience's needs, and the search landscape. Pretty words that don't perform aren't good enough.

🗣️

Your voice, amplified

The best content sounds like you — only crisper, cleaner, more compelling. I take the time to understand your brand voice so that every word I write feels like it came from you. (But better.)

🤖

Smart use of AI

I use AI as a tool, not a crutch. It helps me research faster, ideate more broadly, and deliver more content for your budget — but every word is reviewed, refined, and signed off by me. Human oversight, always.

I love a deadline

Radical concept: I actually deliver on time. I know. My clients find it equally refreshing. If I commit to a date, that date is sacred. No chasing, no excuses, no drama.

🤝

Partnerships, not projects

The clients I love most are the ones I've worked with for years. I invest in understanding your business deeply so that content gets better and more efficient over time — not starting from scratch every brief.

📈

Results are non-negotiable

I care about your traffic, your conversions, and your bottom line. Not just the words on the page. If something isn't working, I want to know so we can fix it. Content should earn its keep.
