Redcurrant Studio's work

About us

I’m a writer, artist and creative with a background in branding, design and PR. I also write under the name Jackie Poate.

I began writing professionally in 2008 as a food and drink columnist and have since moved into fiction and screenwriting. I’ve completed a feature-length comedy-drama screenplay, currently in rewrite, and I’m around 30,000 words into my first novel. I also have further screen projects in development.

Alongside my writing, I create original art and illustration through Redcurrant Studio and wrote and illustrated the children’s book Mole’s Treasure Hunt.

I’ve also spent more than 25 years working across branding, design, advertising and PR – experience that still finds its way into pretty much everything I do.

I’m open to freelance writing and creative projects – particularly editorial, lifestyle, food and drink, storytelling and creative copy.
