On behalf of big brands, industry leaders, agencies and entrepreneurs, I find creative, considered solutions that stand out and work in context.<\/span><\/p>\n

          As a former strategic planner who held client-facing roles at leading communications agencies \u2013 in New York, Paris, Vienna and Zurich \u2013 I get a quick read on complex issues. As a trained interviewer, I ask the right questions. As a published writer, I find the heart of the story.<\/p>\n

          Apart from hands-on learning, I have received additional training in qualitative research techniques, music journalism and writing as a craft. My short fiction, essays and offbeat profiles have appeared in acclaimed literary and culture magazines published in the UK and US. I am also a coeditor of a respected online magazine of creative writing.<\/span><\/p>\n

          What all this means is that I have developed an acute sense of how and why language works \u2013 or doesn\u2019t \u2013 and a passion for working with words.<\/p>\n

          Note on AI: <\/b>At this time, I do not use large language models or generative AI in the writing process, from brainstorming and outlining all the way to drafting, crafting and revising. AI may power some of the tools I use for initial research and fact-checking purposes, as well as more basic language checks (i.e. online dictionaries, thesauruses and translation services). I would be happy to share my views on the writing technologies and resources currently available, based on personal experimentation, continued learning and coursework, and client expectations.
