Imagine harnessing the true power of the written word. To inspire and inform, to evoke trust in your readers, to hook your audience’s attention and leave them hungry for more.

As a freelance writer and editor, and the founder of Casa Communications, this is what I do.

I have worked in publishing since 2008, began my journalism career in 2009 and have specialised in writing articles about architecture, interiors and design for over a decade. My work is renowned for its uniquely human approach to understanding the built environment and how it affects our lives and wellbeing.

I am passionate about distilling journeys and messages into content that captivates, whether it’s penning the perfect pages for magazines and print media, writing online articles that enthral and engage, or creating corporate copy with pinpoint accuracy.

Everyone has a story to tell. What’s yours?
