About me

Do you need punchy, original, optimised copy that coheres with your brand's personality? Or perhaps you need the assistance of an accurate proofreader?
If so, I can help.

I can also help with summarising extensive or complicated texts into concise, easily-digestible prose. Or I can give you a bit of extra help with your marketing activities.
