So, you're wondering if I have the credentials to work with your company? I'd say so... For over 15 years I've worked with brands across tech, culture, charities, education and design. I've also worked alongside some lovely PR agencies and marketing firms along the way. I'm a contributor to Design Week, a University of Sheffield graduate and a Mini MBA in Marketing alumna. I understand not just how to write, but why certain words work harder than others. Alongside my copywriting work, I'm also a published journalist. My work includes a featured interview with the co-founders of the first Scottish design studio to receive B Corp status, and an exclusive conversation with Alex Giles, who created the 2026 Brit Awards identity. I grew up with The Famous Five, The Faraway Tree and The Secret Garden. I love to read, I love to write, and I find people genuinely fascinating. Maybe it's that curiosity that drives everything I do in this job. If you're looking for copy that sounds like you on your best day, drop me a message.
