Stories about the technologies and people shaping our future
What I do
I write and edit words about technology and sustainability.That means things that are changing how we live and work right now, like renewable energy, digital manufacturing or the sharing economy. It also covers research that may shape our future, such as electric planes or quantum computing.I’ve interviewed astronauts, hotshot engineers, record-breaking explorers, inventors and leading academics to write about their lives, their work and the fields in which they excel.My passion is turning complex subjects into engaging, accessible stories. You might have a vague idea of what you want to communicate - I can help you say it better.

Revamping sustainability at Airbus
As the world's largest aircraft manufacturer, sustainability is a big deal for Airbus. For the company's website, I was asked to rewrite the copy for the entire sustainability section to reflect their increased focus on the topic. It includes detailed information on Airbus' technological innovation, supply chain and social responsibility work.Take a closer look here

Who am I?
I love technology and sustainability. I'm also fascinated by space. So much so that I've interviewed three astronauts, including Buzz Aldrin.I'm British but lived in Germany for more than a decade so I decided to become a dual citizen. Now I live by the sea in Cornwall, where people struggle to place my accent. I'm an amateur yogi, frustrated drummer and cat-lover.
