about
I am an East London-based ex-Condé Nast copywriter and editor, experienced in collaborating with department heads, designers, marketing and press teams, CRM teams, account executives, and clients directly.
I've crafted content on a wide range of topics, from beauty, fashion, and jewellery to food, wine, cars, toys, homewares, finance, telecommunications, and software. Passionate about storytelling, I focus on creating warm, relatable messaging that engages audiences, builds trust, and fosters lasting connections. I also have experience in content strategy and am comfortable using CMS to build and format content.
