About me

Greetings. I'm an award-winning copywriter and TEDx speaker in love with disruptive ideas, whether they're creative, entrepreneurial or both.

I hold the strong belief that the work which generates the best ROI has to interact with the market and invite engagement that empowers people. I'm enthusiastic, energetic, not bothered by late nights or tight deadlines and can spot a typo at 50 paces.

I love working in a team, but you can lock me in a room with a brief (and a web connection) and I'll still deliver the goods, on brief and on deadline. Some of my heroes include Alan Fletcher, Ze Frank, Bill Bernbach, Shigeo Fukuda, Tom Robbins, Margaret Atwood, Bjork, Charles Bukowski, Michel Gondry, Paul Arden and Thom Yorke. I'm in advertising & communications to learn from others and explore global culture at all levels.
