A few of the projects I've been involved with since 2001:
copywriter & branding consultant
(Actually, I live on a houseboat...)
I'm a freelance copywriter and branding consultant. And if I'm known for anything, it's for making the complex simple.
I work directly for clients such as Sephora, reMarkable
(a paper tablet launched by Finnish entrepreneurs) and John Lewis, and on client and personal projects for design and branding consultancies including Goldbug Agency, The BrandGym and Huddle.
I'm relishing the wonderful variety of writing I'm doing for Parisian-based beauty company Sephora, from social media posts to Sephora University content, speech writing to people profiles. My work for longstanding client Orangebox (the contemporary office furniture company) is equally diverse, ranging from editing books to writing web copy, people profiles, case studies, new business proposals, posters and ads.
When you work with someone and they 'get it', it's a joy. You relax, step back and allow things to emerge. You end up not only getting the job done, you get more than you bargained for. You get all this working with Chris. She maintains a great balance of focus, passion and playfulness. Chris can be forensic one minute and take the broad view the next. Sheer bliss!
