what i do
I write and edit words about technology, sustainability and people.For the last 15 years, I’ve been a freelance editor and writer for the Guardian, the Times and companies like American Express, BMW, Land Rover and Siemens.I’ve interviewed Buzz Aldrin, Sir Ranulph Fiennes and TED conference founder Richard Wurman, as well as hundreds of amazing CEOs, engineers, designers and entrepreneurs. I’ve also collaborated with global media agencies on award-winning websites and magazines.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.

About me
Fresh air, good books, musical discoveries, cold water, soft dogs, stretching, meditation, and a good cuppa - just a few of the things I like.I'm lucky to live by the sea, in the beautiful Cornish town of Falmouth. Before moving here in 2022, I lived in Munich, Germany, for more than a decade. I learned a lot about identity, communication and getting out of my comfort zone.I'm fascinated by the human brain and personal development. This has led me to coaching and I now work with clients to help them thrive in self-employment. I also have a Level 2 qualification in person-centred counselling.
