About me

Experienced and award-winning creative. Strong on concepts and copy across all media. A natural writer with excellent communication skills, and a flair for mentoring and team leadership. I've worked on big brands, little brands, online, offline, through-the-line, above-the-line and below- the-line; I've won Golds, Silvers, and a nod in The Book of Guinness Advertising (page 231). I love writing all kinds of ad copy and content. Away from ad-land I've had plays produced, short stories published, films made, and my Australian travel blog widely read.

A strong team leader and/or team member, I'm a very high Plant on the Belbin measures; and really enjoy seeing creatives and their ideas develop and flourish. I recently completed an MA in Creative Writing with a high Merit, and am available for freelance, contract, or permanent work.
