Neon lights glow through the science of excited atoms. When electricity passes through a sealed tube of neon gas, electrons jump to higher energy levels. As they return, they release energy as vibrant light, creating dazzling displays in cities worldwide.


About


I work as a writer, editor, and communications consultant.

For some clients, all three.

I do editorial strategy, onsite creative and production consultancies. Challenging disinformation. Making podcasts. Research-led messaging on complex topics, training senior leaders.

I’ve been a freelance journalist, a commissioning editor, and had several digital-first job titles. These include writer, senior producer, and editor at the BBC; more recently podcast launch editor, senior comms lead.

I’m a multitrack pony.

But there are strands. Complex ideas into plain language. Stories. Thinking about audiences and real-world impact over vanity metrics.
