Hello!

I work where the subject is complicated and the audience still needs to care.

I’ve been creating content, running pages and experimenting with social media for more than a decade, long before it became my job. Since then, that curiosity has turned into work across marketing, brand, storytelling and communications, from Amazon and large corporate environments to crypto, cybersecurity and intelligence, independent publishing and the occasional freelance project.

A lot of my work comes down to the same problem: taking something technical, unfamiliar or difficult to explain and finding a way to make it clear, interesting and worth paying attention to. Sometimes that’s a cyber investigation, sometimes a product, a brand repositioning, a website, a campaign or simply figuring out what makes people stop scrolling.
