Work history
My career has been a long and winding road (yes, I'm a Beatles fan) but a constant theme has been writing - in one medium or another.
Over the years I have written everything from TV commercials to brochures, web sites to product packaging. Other work I have undertaken ranges from communications strategy development to newsletter editing, web site content analysis and information architecture.
Organisations I have worked for include:
- Ted Bates Advertising
(copywriter)
- Telecom New Zealand
(communications writer)
- Helios Communications
(writer and account manager)
- Wellington City Council (internal communications manager and intranet/internet
manager)
- The Web Limited/BearingPoint (project manager, writer and content manager)
From October 2002 to February 2006 I worked as an independent contractor.
I am currently working full-time as editor for the Retirement Commission on the
Sorted website and other online and
offline projects.
