About me
Hi, I'm Dominique - a self-professed word addict. I'm also a grammar and spelling nerd.
My obsession for words started at a very young age. I hate clichés but this one rings very true.
I love the power words hold. I'm fascinated by the way words are used to communicate. The way words can influence you to feel, think and act deeply intrigues me.
I always excelled at English in school and went on to take English A Levels and studied for a degree in English at Brunel University.
Writing was my calling but after completing a few internships in PR and Communications, dreams of becoming a Copywriter were fading.
I found it near impossible to get my foot in the door as a Copywriter and my head turned to the corporate world of HR. I learned to write engaging content from a business perspective and writing the content was the only thing I enjoyed about my career in HR.
It was during maternity leave in 2017 when I decided that I had no desires of returning to the world of HR after 6 years in the industry. My heart just wasn't in it. I wanted to write for businesses.
I was tired of seeing bad copy everywhere and always thought of ways to improve it. I started rewriting copy using my own fresh ideas and to say that I enjoyed doing this was an understatement.
Dreams of becoming a Copywriter resurfaced and the journey to make it a reality started.
