I'm an experienced marketer and content strategist, currently leading marketing at Detail where I guide brand, content and product marketing strategy. Before that I was content lead at 1Password, and head of marketing at Sketch. I’m a trained journalist with more than ten years experience working as a designer — across print, digital, and UX. I’ve helped scrappy start-ups and billion dollar platforms understand the importance of effective communication and a consistent voice in building their product and brand.
I was approached by Detail in August 2021 and asked if I’d like to to lead marketing and content at this early stage, creator-focused startup. I’m currently working with the team and the founders to establish brand messaging, voice/tone, and content strategy. I’m also responsible for guiding product positioning as well as building out customer personas as we move towards finding product-market fit.

I also had the opportunity to work on UX and microcopy for the 1Password web platform.

BA (Hons) Multi-media Journalism Grade 2:1
I completed a multi-disciplinary degree course that covered web and print journalism, audio and video production, research skills, journalism theory, law, and politics.
I’m also a professional musician, singer, and songwriter. I’ve signed songs to labels including Sony/EMI, and my music has appeared in TV shows on major US networks like ABC and CBS. I shoot and edit my own videos and, when I’m not writing and recording music, I’m building communities around it.
