Freelance Copywriter, Creative Producer and Project Manager Location: Cape Town
About

I am a freelance creative who has worked as a producer and project manager whilst at the same time writing commercial and editorial copy for various clients. I come from a publishing background, having worked at Condé Nast, across multiple titles including British Vogue, GQ and Glamour. Since moving freelance I have added more fashion and lifestyle clients to my portfolio including i-D, Nike, Farfetch and Sunday Times Style. I'm passionate about creating elevated content across all placements and working with innovative teams to hit all targets. At the moment I am writing and editing exclusively rather than working as a producer or project manager however I am open to roles in both skill sets.
