Content Marketing
I help you produce the most suitable content for your company or brand.
After discussing your goals (KPIs) we define a suitable content strategy and I get my hands dirty – well, not literally, I do know how to use a pen after all.
- Blogs
- Articles
- Social media
- Campaigns
You already have a content strategy but need an extra pair of hands to write your content?
You’re in luck because I happen to do that too.
Oh I want to read more about Content Marketing!

Video Scripting
Video scripting demands a different type of writing. It must be fluid, accessible, and more communicative than most writing.
I develop and produce scripts for creative, inspirational, informative or instructive purposes.
By discussing your needs and goals, I craft the tone of voice and structure the message with a strong sense of storyline.
Great, tell me more!

UX Writing
To me, the most interesting challenge of content design lies in the balance between emotional interaction and user expectations.
That’s why in my content for AI, apps, bots, and other UX writing focusses primarily on placing the user’s needs at the centre of the communication.
And I achieve that with a strong use of storytelling technique.
UX Writing sounds awesome!

Journalism & Editorial
I’ve worked as a journalist for over 15 years.
My articles and reports are well researched, fact-based, and respect the highest ethical standards of journalism principles.
Some of my work has appeared on the BBC, The Daily Beast, Monocle, France24, and other international media.
In addition, I edit journalism, corporate, and literary content.
I’m curious!
More than a writer
Storytelling
Yes, it’s a buzz-word, but it’s also the tool the best writers out there have been using since… well… ever. Story is what connects us and help us understand the world around us. I use a mix of narrative tools to convey your story in order to create an emotional connection and reaction.
Strategy
Before I type down the first word, I consider the ‘why’. No piece of content makes sense if it’s not suited for three essential elements: goal, message, and audience. Together with you, we clarify the reason why you need this specific piece of content and choose the best format to feed those needs.
Experience
As a writer, I have worked with and for a wide range of sectors – from technology to creative industries – and different types of enterprise – from multinationals to freelancers. This has given me a great amount of insight towards the differences in business realities and it’s also allowed me to quickly adapt to your needs.
Quality
Your story deserves the best writing. I am committed to delivering high-quality content, leaving no stone unturned, no detail unattended. I don’t stop until you’re happy. At the end of the day, your recommendation is my biggest pay.

Keeping it fresh with a training or workshop
So perhaps you want to keep your content writing in-house but:

- or simply need basic training to get started
Through my workshops, I can provide training to meet your content writing needs.

Don’t just take my word for it…

Thoughts
Here I share some thoughts and tips regarding writing and storytelling.
In addition to being a writer, I also teach. I have found that by sharing my knowledge with others I learn more about my own craft. It forces me to think about why I do things the way I do. As a result, I become a better writer – all the while helping others dive into this wonderful world of words.
