What I do

I help companies turn complex communication challenges into

credible, compelling stories. Stories that sell a product or

service. That launch an idea, promote change, or build a brand.

UK-born native English speaker, now with Dutch nationality as well, so Brexit-proof.

Living and working in NL since 1995.

CV: journalist with Johnston Press > internal communications at Philips > editorial

consultant and copywriter at FHV/BBDO agencies Signum and inc-21 > self-employed

since 2005.

Today: online and offline copywriting, concepting and editorial content creation. Websites,

brochures, magazines, e-zines, annual reports, CSR reports, press releases and more.
