​

Before becoming a writer I worked as an Assistant Photographer.

This gave me an invaluable grounding in advertising and the

language of communication. As a Copywriter I’ve worked across
most sectors and in most media. I've a broad range of experience

but FMCG, Travel and Automotive are probably my specialist areas.

 

Being part of a team is important to me and I've been fortunate to

work with some very talented Art Directors, Strategists, Designers

and Producers. As a Creative Group Head I've helped mentor junior

teams, Project and Account Managers, helped direct pitches and 
manage presentations. I'm also, so I'm told, fun to work with.
