About Me

I am a full-time freelance copywriter, creative director, content writer, concept-thinker and marketing consultant.

Sometimes I'm also a content creator, ceramicist, and sort-of artist.

I mostly work remotely from my home office in the small town, Greyton, 2 hours from Cape Town.

I have worked with through-the-line advertising agencies, big corporates and small start-ups and have experience across multiple categories, including fashion, fitness, finance, and food.

My favourite brands and jobs to work on are those related to environmental impact, social change, animal welfare, animals in general, food and lifestyle, the outdoors, art, culture, skincare and books.
