Why I Write
When I was a boy, I would lie awake at night, watching my curtains come to life. From behind the prints of flowerbeds, trees and bushes, rabbits would appear, hopping across each fold. They were alive with play and it was magical - seeing them appear then disappear, as if they had waited the whole day for this moment of mischievousness.
Imagination became a friend to my reality and together, we explored a forth dimension throughout my childhood.
When I was at school, I was given the task to write a short story - something relating to an experience in my life. I wrote a fictionalised version of losing a friend to a road accident. I remember the emotions that poured out of me as I wrote; how I could hear the wind in my story, feel the sun on my face and more importantly, how I could see him (my friend) again. For just the briefest of moments, we were reunited thanks to the words on the page.
This is where I learnt that writing can take you places reality can't.
Why I Create
I have been an entrepreneur for over 13 years now. The work is relentless. The hours are long and the battles can sometimes feel unbeatable. With that comes an ability to adapt, to learn, to fight through and to win.
Along my journey, I took courses to learn more about running a business and better my knowledge. The knowledge gained, both via these courses and in real-time, proved so incredibly vital in ensuring the success of the brands I was building.
As I progressed, what stood out is that content is a vital tool to marketing, maintaining and furthering a brand. Traditional marketing styles have been replaced with an audiences’ need & ability to consume content, and so I saw that it needed a lot more time and care than expected. It was here I realised just how much I loved it. I loved discovering ways to create content, writing it, planning it and designing it for social media.
And so I started to offer my services to other brands and businesses to help them understand the importance of content and help them create it. I look forward to working with more business and you can contact me here.

I remember the first time I began bargaining with a supreme being, an ethereal, mythical figure beyond the skies to never, ever, let anything happen to my children. In the most pinnacle point of the night, surrounded by silence and darkness I would hear myself pleading - mouthing unspoken words of reason and emotion - please, please, protect them from harm.
