My Story

After years- ahem, decades- of abandoning my own creative projects, I knew something had to change.

And by something, I mean… me.

So I picked one idea and followed it.

That idea became A Self-Help Guide for Copywriters, a self-published book now read by agencies and universities around the world.

Since then, I’ve created courses, led workshops for global brands and agencies, spoken on stages around the world, and launched Escape Artists, a community for professional creatives creating more for themselves.

I still can’t believe all of this was inside of me. And I know I haven’t scratched the surface.
