About Me
“It was an absolute joy working with Katherine. Her workshops & questions were invaluable in helping us consolidate our messaging framework, and the deliverables she gave us were above and beyond what we asked for in terms of quality.”
MJ kWON, Marketing MANAGER | ASI
I love what I do. Does that help? I get to work with some of the cleverest people in the world. On hefty projects that unravel problems, unplait stories, and make complicated things simple.
I like to get to the heart of things. And to understand why a piece of work is needed, what’s the bigger picture, and what success will look and feel like.
So when it’s published, people will read it – and care.
I offer a wide range of copywriting services from white papers to online guides but specialise in three –
tone of voice development, website copywriting and scriptwriting for internal and external corporate videos.

Case Study

“Sometimes you need a specialist, but more importantly, someone who will have empathy with you and your company. That’s exactly what I needed when re-envisaging our proposition and tone of voice. Katherine nailed it perfectly, and I would highly recommend if you need a stand-out copywriter, you look no further than Katherine.”

“Katherine is a warm, consummate professional who very quickly gets under the skin of your business to understand exactly how she can best represent it in words. At no point did this ever feel like we were “creating a tone of voice”, it felt as though we had a series of enjoyable conversations that then, through Katherine’s expertise, became the embodiment of our organisation. That’s why we chose to work with Katherine, because lots of people can write copy, but no-one does it like she does.”
