I’m a writer and musician with a history of involvement in creative projects in a wide range of media.
I’ve published music and art criticism for magazines in London and spent the last three years as a freelance copywriter in Paris providing English content for the internal print publications, intranet and web sites of some of France’s largest companies. I've also integrated web content for a number of those companies using content management systems.
As a musician, I’ve performed in a variey of contexts in New Zealand, the UK, France and Switzerland. In the past I’ve also worked at the Tate Gallery in London, and as a sound editor in New Zealand for television and film.
