Experience

A trained publisher with a BIS Degree in Publishing from the University of Pretoria, South Africa, I have unravelled (and put together) many of the processes that weave a story’s thread. A story? Well, it can hold a frame, lay awake in a pixel, or flirt with semiotics. It is the fiber that comprises this string. I have spent time with my cheek intimately pressed against many a manuscript as a language editor of over 70 books. In have also published several publications, including scholarly peer-reviewed monographs, textbooks and various other fiction titles. 

My curiosity inevitably spilled over into user journeys where I gained valuable insight and experience as a UX & UI designer. A chapter in advertising as a copywriter saw a parallel universe of linguistic strategy open – pulling the strings of radio, television and social media campaigns.
