Experience
I have 20 years of international award-winning writing and consulting experience in digital media, software/IT, marketing, and business development.
I work wih clients in a variety of industries and with every type of media. I work closely with start-ups, large IT companies, digital/ad agencies, corporate clients, government, NGOs, and small businesses to help them better serve their customers and tell their story.
I've won dozens of digital design, content, and writing awards in Australasia, North America, and Europe for projects I worked on or lead; I've optioned a screenplay in the US (in 2014 and 2017) and I've written for previous Prime Ministers.
I am always on the lookout for new challenges, new projects, and interesting new people. Please get in touch with me if you’d like to discuss your needs.
