About
I’m a writer turned full-stack marketer who cares about making things simple, accessible and human.
I’ve spent over a decade using words to make things simple, accessible, and human. In that time I’ve worked for universities, charities, tech products, and two of the UK’s most valuable brands.
Right now I lead on product marketing for Sketch, where we’re helping people to design better products.
I work remotely but live in Buckinghamshire (UK) with my lovely wife and son. When I’m not working, I’m reading, walking, lifting weights, or nerding out about making coffee.
Previously, I was a senior writer at Sideshow (now Gain), a freelance copywriter, and a web editor for Arts University Bournemouth.
As a journalism graduate from Bournemouth University, I cut my teeth at iCreate Magazine, where I co-authored the iTunes bestseller iCloud for Beginners and worked my way up to Features Editor.
My work has won awards from Computer Arts, the Chartered Institute of Marketing and HEIST, among others.
