From Classroom Chalk to Clever Copy-with purpose
Hi! Welcome to my wordy world.
Get comfy with a cuppa...here we go!
It all started 20 years ago in a classroom, where I taught young minds to grow, learn, and become independent.
This journey took on deeper meaning when I was diagnosed with Usher Syndrome, which opened my eyes to the crucial importance of accessibility in everything we create.
When I had my first child, I, like many mums, wanted to stay at home while still contributing meaningfully.
So, I dusted off my creative hat (which, let's be honest, was never really off) and took a dive into the world of handmade, fibre arts—crochet and macramé.
As I marketed my handmade creations on Etsy and social media, I found myself writing more and more—product descriptions, blog posts, and website copy.
My experience with Usher Syndrome has given me a unique perspective on creating content that's not just beautiful, funny & fun, but accessible to everyone.
Somewhere between teaching, crafting and copywriting, I realised I had a knack for storytelling that resonates with many different types of business owners.
My study of the human psyche and hours of lesson planning to meet the needs of diverse learners and an entire career (so far) of strategic writing, has helped me reach & impact wider, more diverse audiences.
Fast forward to today: I’m now a trained copywriter with a wealth of experience writing for many businesses and telling stories for people around the world.
I have brought many models of business to life through clever and creative copy.
From blog posts, product descriptions and policies for Real Estate agencies to SEO web page descriptions and About Pages for energy healers, gelato stores and handmade crochet queens on Etsy!.
Crafting spicy, clever copy that grabs attention and makes selling easier is my jam.
