This is the bit I hate - I much prefer telling your stories, to talking about myself. But if you're going to work with me, you'll want to know a bit about me first, so here we go...

​

I love books. I really, really love books. But I have zero talent for actually writing one. However, during a 20 year career in corporate comms and branding, I've discovered that I do have a bit of a knack for finding and telling good stories.

 

For asking the right questions, getting people to open up, cutting through complexity and finding strong narrative arcs that balance clarity with emotion; entertainment with empathy; strategy with celebration.

​

I've used this to support organisations with simple, powerful and effective communications that land; telling the right stories to the right people in the right ways, helping to raise the profile of a brand, drive behaviour and support business objectives - especially during tricky periods of transformational change and repositioning.

​

And then I had my lightbulb moment. I decided to combine my love of books with my aptitude for telling stories. To capture the stories of organisations, and celebrate them in beautiful commemorative books. I can't tell you how much pleasure I get from seeing the books printed and bound, and watching people get quite emotional when they read their story in a 'real book'.

​

I'm told I'm a people-person with a flair for creativity and an infectious enthusiasm balanced by incisive commercial understanding and an innate sense of professionalism - but you can decide that for yourself :)
