About me

 

Thanks for looking around my website. I’m a content creator, working with words, images and video to produce effective content for a range of platforms and purposes, from web content to educational courses.

I’ve worked on digital platforms for over 20 years - you can see my skills and career history below. I currently work part-time for the UK Government as a learning developer/designer (2 days p/w), and I spend my remaining time on freelance work. In my freelance career, I wear a few hats - before moving into the EdTech sector as a learning developer, I worked as a digital marketing manager and content producer, and I still work in these areas today as my hands-on skills in digital media production are transferrable across different sectors.

In the EdTech world, I lean more towards more practical Learning Developer roles rather than Learning Designer posts as my skills are very much hands on, with knowledge of software programmes and LMS (Articulate; Adobe CC; Moodle, etc).

Get in touch if you’d like to find out more.
