my work
My contract work is a mix of research, consultation and writing. Typically I’m told: We need something that achieves this … can you work out exactly what we need - write a brief, design the project and make it happen. Links on this site go to resources that started like that.
I take your idea, help you refine your aims and advise on the best way to make it happen. Then I consult, research, write and consult some more until you are happy with the way the work is heading. I make sure the language and format are right for the audience and work with IT and designers see it through to completion.
