Some of the work I do is hard to write up or link to, either because it’s confidential or is more to do with shaping ideas and organising information than creating text to live permanently online. However, I’ve gathered a representative sample of some recent work below. As you can see, it’s a mixture of longform, social media and editing/messaging. Let me know if you would like to see anything more specific and I’ll see what I can rustle up. Alternatively, have a look at my latest creds deck (pdf) for the edited highlights.
