About

Photo: Naomi Jane

I’m a writer turned full-stack marketer who cares about making things simple, accessible and human.

I’ve spent over a decade creating content, comms, and copy for universities, non-profits, SaaS products, and two of the UK’s most valuable brands.

Right now, I’m working on Elyx and Sketch.

I work remotely and live in Buckinghamshire (UK) with my lovely wife and son. Outside of work, I’m usually reading, walking, lifting weights, or nerding out about making coffee.

Previously, I was a senior writer at Sideshow (now Gain), a freelance copywriter, and web editor for Arts University Bournemouth’s award-winning website.

I got my start at iCreate Magazine, where I co-authored the iTunes bestseller iCloud for Beginners and worked my way up to Features Editor.

I graduated from the renowned Multi-Media Journalism degree at Bournemouth University.

My work has won awards from Computer Arts, the Chartered Institute of Marketing and HEIST, among others.
