Over the 14 years of my career I’ve worked as a branded content editor for digital and print titles, led content teams and corporate newsrooms, across all formats including written, social, video, visual, and more. Writing features, news stories, profiles and other articles has been a focus of my career, considering topics including corporate communications, culture, travel, food and drink, technology, and business. As Editor or Managing Editor I have also overseen the creation of a range of content packages – often travel- or food-focused – which includes building city guides from scratch, directing video packages and social media amplification.

Highlights

These are some of my favourite stories at the moment, with site/workplace listed by each. This list includes a mix of features, video, essays, news, and reviews:
