About

I’ve driven 4,000 miles across the Sahara Desert in a Lada for the BBC: spent two months on the highest mountain in the world running the media campaign for Sir Ranulph Fiennes’ Everest Challenge for Marie Curie Cancer Care: travelled up the Karakoram Highway in Pakistan for BBC Top Gear and taken to the high-seas with Greenpeace for The Independent.

My clients range from magazines and newspapers through to leading national NGOs and commercial companies.

What unites them all is that they want to tell a story or communicate an idea / campaign, they want to do it brilliantly and they want to capture the attention and the imagination of their audience.

And that’s where I come in.

As a freelance multimedia journalist I write for national and international media organisations – and produce bespoke, optimised web content, including video, for commercial clients.

Drawing on my journalistic experience I also work as a media communications specialist with clients in both the public and business sectors.

With a particular interest in the web, I’ve project managed high-profile digital public relations campaigns for leading NGOs.

First published at the age of nineteen I’ve developed relationships with magazine and newspaper editors both here in the UK and across the globe – and as a result my work has been published in over thirteen countries in magazines, newspapers and media organisations that include the BBC, Channel4.com, The Independent, The Telegraph, Telegraph TV, The Observer, Daily Mirror, ELLE, Marie Claire, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Saga, FHM, BBC Top Gear and Geographical magazine among many others.

Having developed a specialist interest in the potential of online communications I’ve produced compelling websites and digital content for a number of media-organisations, high-street brands and well-known charities.

Recognising the power of online video I expanded on my television background by training in digital video journalism production.

I have now produced short films with Hugh Grant for Marie Curie Cancer Care – broadcast on BBC1news and The One Show and filed video, copy and pictures from Everest Base Camp for The Telegraph newspaper and Marie Curie Cancer Care blog – www.everestchallenge.org.uk.

I’ve also produced and project-managed internal communication films for the public sector.

Solid communication skills are at the core of all of my projects and I have developed innovative media campaign strategies for high-profile clients in the public and business sector.

I’m currently working on the launch of www.debateyourplate.com,  a brilliant new digital food magazine. Sign up for the launch here.

Sony, The London Arts Board, National Lottery Fund, Thuraya Communications, Jessops Photographic and American and Singapore Airlines have all sponsored my work. In 2002 I was highly commended in the prestigious Observer Hodge Award for photographic project, All Girl Rodeo.
