CONTENT
Reframing technical or complex jargon for easy reading. Weaving success stories based on research and interviews. Composing strategic messages to gain customers and grow communities.

COPYWRITING
Finding angles and shaping messages to encourage action. Crafting copy for increased return on social media investment. Collaborating with graphics teams for content rich design, optimised to rank highly on search and keep readers on the page.

STORYTELLING
Working with delivery teams to find stories with purpose. Selecting words and images to educate, entertain and inspire. Earning loyalty and trust by communicating with substance.
I pitch myself as a WRITER, but my superpower is connecting with people and helping them tell their story. Yes. I can spell. And I can navigate the possessive apostrophe. But more importantly, I listen and I observe. The prose almost writes itself.

Daile Drevins
Director, Salt Design
We have used Angela for many years to wordsmith and recraft our written communication so that our message is clearer and simplified. She has a unique ability to take our written drafts, discuss our intent and purpose and recraft our content. She can quickly come to terms with our industry jargon and understand the purpose of the communication to refine the way our message is conveyed such that it makes sense to a broader audience. Angela is naturally creative and able to contribute additional perspectives through a collaborative review process. Angela adds value to all our initiatives. I can recommend her services and commend her professional approach and engagement.
