I am a copywriter with 8 years of experience working with leading publications and brands as a copywriter, journalist and publicist.

My work is grounded in PR, music and events. It is the product of pivotal professional experiences in two of Berlin’s top music PR agencies. Notably I launched and ran the Berlin branch of respected UK boutique agency The Rest Is Noise with a client list including Ableton, Pioneer DJ, Audio Technica and many more.

Today I bring words to life across a wide range of business fields including tech, crypto and entertainment. I love writing about any combination of arts and culture, travel, news, food and social issues with a fondness for the innovative, the groundbreaking and the unconventional.
