FAQs
An interview with myself.
What do you actually do?
I’m a senior copywriter and content editor. I lead storytelling for brands, concept social-first campaigns and create tone-of-voice playbooks. I like to work across both the thinking and the writing: shaping ideas, then bringing them to life.
What sets you apart from other senior copywriters?
An editorial background and fashion fluency. I led the storytelling on the relaunch of the Burberry trench coat story. For Calvin Klein, I rewrote the playbook and the meaning of sexy.
Notable career mentions?
Journalism degree, then a New York summer at Marie Claire and FHM (fashion-cupboard diplomacy, multiple coffee runs in 2000s heels). Back in London: The Saturday Times junior fashion desk, a stint at Esquire, and
launching Recognise Magazine, an eco-luxe title that made it to the shiny shelves of WHSmith. Copywriting at John Lewis (discount approved by Mum), then big beautiful Burberry as Senior Copywriter, where I led the trench coat storytelling, runway copy, It-bag naming and writing €550 Christmas-cracker jokes (no joke). In 2019 I swapped the Tube for a bike and joined Calvin Klein as Content Editor in Amsterdam until January 2025. Now I roam free, enjoying gigs with brands, agencies and magazines.
Who have you worked with lately?
BBC, Artipoppe, Hunkemöller, Dentsu Creative, AKQA and Rituals. Plus digital magazines where I interview people other than myself.
Anything non-work we should know?
I balance objects on my head (party trick). My favourite word is: quaff. I once made a jacket out of empty crisp packets to cheer up my Burberry team after the Brexit announcement (photo available upon request).
A career highlight of mine has been developing a more inclusive and diverse tone of voice for Calvin Klein.
My bar: brands that platform all voices, especially those that are rarely heard or often misrepresented.
TONE OF VOICE.
TONE OF VOICE.
