About

I'm a freelance editor, journalist, copywriter and creative living in Surrey and working in London. I'm available for commissions, projects and campaigns.

Journalism
Specialising in interiors, home and property – as well as food, drink, travel and style – I've written features for The Times, Evening Standard, The Telegraph, The Guardian, House Beautiful, Country Living and GQ, amongst many others.

Branded content
I was formerly editor of Co-op Food, M&S Food, Dulux UK and Electrolux and create branded content for print, digital, video and social. I'm also currently a freelance copywriter for Heal's.

From strategy to ideation and production, I work collaboratively with clients to engage customers at every touchpoint, while adding my own sprinkle of stardust to cut through the noise of the competition.

Recent clients include Heal's, Mandarin Oriental, British Airways, Dulux, Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Ocado, HelloFresh and Dunelm, amongst others.
