I specialise in culture and have written extensively about music, travel, lifestyle and business for publications including the Guardian, Sunday Independent, Marie Claire, Harrods Magazine, Arise and Mixmag. I've helped launch and edit magazines and websites for clients like Hamptons International and Norwich Union, have provided copy for BT and Royal Mail web portals, and am associate editor of the taste-making music and culture magazine Shook. I also recently edited my first book, China’s Creative Voice, which is branding agency HuntHaggarty’s study of Chinese youth culture.

I also DJ, take photographs, am learning to play the drums and like nothing better than getting on a plane and going somewhere far away. I spent 12 years in South Africa and revel in having one foot in each hemisphere.

Need some words?

I'm a real ideas person so if you need inspiration, I'd be happy to help.

Whether it’s writing features, books, press releases, advertorials or even short stories, I'm versatile and can switch easily between different styles to get the tone of voice just right.

I can turn my hand to a variety of topics and like nothing better than teasing out stories with a nice cultural twist and turning challenging topics into interesting and compelling copy.
