Writing & design,
from source material
to finished page.
I’m a writer, editor and designer working across websites, newsletters and independent publishing. I can help shape the copy, build the layout and check the finished piece before it goes out.
A message in two formats
Feed & Story production study. Morrow is a fictional brief.
Work you can
look through.
Different audiences, different kinds of publishing. Each example shows the work and where I contributed.
Client work / Website & email
Complete Claims Service
Page structure, mobile improvements and clearer next steps for an established insurance-services website.
Independent publishing / Editorial & media
Scapi Magazine
Reported features and interviews, editing, and production across the publication’s web, audio and video work.
Bring me the thing
you need to publish.
Start with a small assignment or an agreed set of recurring updates. Here are some useful places to begin.
Website updates
Clearer copy, useful page structure and practical improvements to an existing WordPress site.
Newsletters & email
Turn approved material into an email with a clear reason to read and a direct next step.
Writing & editing
Reported features, interviews, website copy and editing that keep the central point clear.
Feed & Story design
Adapt an approved article, event or announcement into coordinated copy and graphics.
A little about me
An editor’s eye.
A producer’s follow-through.
My work moves between small-business websites and independent arts publishing. I care about what a piece is saying and whether the finished version is readable, useful and ready for its audience.
I also write fiction. The books have their own corner here. If you’re here with a freelance project, tell me what you’re working on.
