Technical Copywriting

Technical Writers go by many names: Technical Communicator; Technical Content Creator; Technical Copywriter; Hey You Over There. Alongside my work producing user guides and how-to content for private clients, I wrote for their blogs to help improve their online presence.


FedEx Digital Infinite Beta blog - 2017
I worked with FedEx Digital as a Technical Copywriter (more info on my LinkedIn Profile) and produced sassy content for their Infinite Beta blog. The tone here is informal and personable, the aim being to show some personality and attract future team members to the company.


3di Technical Communications - 2014 to 2016
I worked with 3di as a Technical Writer (more info on my LinkedIn Profile) and produced marketing content for their blog. These articles are now attributed to someone else, which is a bit cheeky.


Quill - Global Content Creators - 2014
SEO Copywriting for online platforms. Editorial blog posts, brand descriptors, Careers outlines and holiday destination guides written to house style and with keywords implemented as per the brief.


The way we talk about products, experiences and workplaces can have a huge impact- if you need help with any word-wrangling tasks, please drop me an email.

Cultural Journalism

I lived in Edinburgh for 6 years, and spent every summer attending the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. When the biggest performing arts festival in the world lands on your doorstep, you have to go out and see what's happening.

Isma Almas Fest August 2019 Almas' show about adoption started making waves in Edinburgh, so my editor asked me to speak with her on a 48-hour deadline.
