about ME
I love design, words and technology. And especially where all three overlap.
I’ve been consulting/contracting/freelancing since January 2016. Before that, I worked at Rubicon Project as Content Marketing Director. And previous to that, as Head of Marketing & Communications at the UK Association of Online Publishers (AOP.)
This is me on LinkedIn if you want to say hi.
Proving brilliant writing and impactful design are a match made in heaven
Over the past several years, I’ve seen countless times the benefits of combining brilliant content and impactful design, in every possible combination.
I work with a wide variety of clients, from the technology and ad tech world, to agencies & startup businesses.

Marketing / CONTENT STRATEGY
Seems like everyone's a publisher these days. But with the proliferation of content - will yours sing, or just add to the noise?
With 10 years of experience writing for tech companies and senior figures in media and advertising, I can make sure your words hit the right notes - and combine words and graphics for an encore.
Product Marketing, Case Studies & Sales Enablement
Making the complex simple is tricky, but can make a huge difference for your existing and future customers.
Getting product marketing right couldn't be more important, whether that means visualising the benefits (not just features) of what you do, or shifting their focus onto your customers to make them more concrete.
DATA analysis & visualisation
If data is the new oil, is yours powering your business or just burning up?
Whether it's internal, system or client data, unique insights produced through your own research or just information that's in the public domain, it all adds up to a well of potential for the writer and designer.
Examples:
Event guidebooks, personalised by client data - Later, a major prospect cited the design, detail and usefulness of the book as playing a major role in coming on board.
HD content campaigns
That's HD content, not eyebrows.
Bringing together all of the elements listed here together in support of a major event, product release or announcement is a great way of grabbing attention and drumming up new business.
Every version of an HD campaign will look slightly different, but might include a combination of data visualisation, research, blogposts or longform articles, social media imagery (and gifs.)
Not to mention print and digital advertising, sales or product marketing documentation, or an accompanying presentation to be used right there, as well as in future.
