Strategy
Refine your organisation or business communications and make a difference.
I identify your direction, chart your pathway, articulate your voice, map content, develop smart, shareable content, nurture connections, engage customers and inspire action.
Copywriting
You want your words to work. I get that you want to share relevant, worthy content that reflects your values and talks directly to your target market. Copywriting is how you tell your story.
I write easy to read and engaging copy for newsletters, websites and blogs for not for profits and businesses.
Children's author
Wondering if you are in the right place? Yup! I'm also a published children’s author with Little Hare / Hardie-Grant-Egmont with the best-selling picture book Jetty Jumping. It's the winner of the 2022 Picture Book of the Year - Early Childhood and 2023 new release Sunday Skating (and more on the way). My passion is writing children’s books, YA and short stories in a uniquely Australian voice for families to enjoy reading. I write to delight and inspire conversations.
