I'm a freelance copywriter, working with clients such as BAA (I recently did the words for a sumptuous hardback book designed by the lovely Bostock & Pollit for T5), Orange (on everything from their global corporate social responsibility website to naming) and the Carbon Trust. If I'm known for anything, it's for making the complex simple.

What do I do? Naming, positioning, brand development, tone of voice, ads, websites, marketing materials, newletters, straplines, press releases, vision / mission statements, articles, video scripts and podcasts... And I've recently collaborated on 'Encounters with Great Explorers', a photography book  launched at the Royal Geographical Society in Kensington.

I spend my time between my houseboat in London and the French Pyrenees, and when in France work remotely with UK clients and consultancies, writing in English. When in London (and not writing), I sing with gospel group Many Rivers, performing regularly at the 606 Club in Chelsea, and at other venues including the Tate and the Albert Hall.
