I graduated in 1996 with a degree in Journalism, Media and Culture, and trained for a year as a reporter on a local newspaper, while attaining NCTJ post-graduate journalism qualifications.
Since 2002 I have worked largely freelance as a journalist, copywriter and layout designer for a variety of UK and international clients. Check out samples below.
During 2011-12 I wrote and self-published my first novel, Human+, a project that honed my layout design skills (Adobe InDesign), and served as a quick education in self-publishing.
Between 2013-17 I produced my own podcast, The Eternities , in which I interviewed writers and thinkers on consciousness, technology and human potential, the primary themes of my novel.
Since 2017 I have been involved in the crypto/blockchain space, working as Media Director for a fintech startup during its fundraising ICO, and as a copywriter, journalist and white paper writer.
