Hi, I’m Helen.

​

I'm a writer who helps brands find and articulate their voice - the thing that makes them, them. 

​

Based in Hawke’s Bay with a decade of experience, I work creatively and strategically to breathe life into new brands, tired brands and brands in need of some love. 

​

Whether I’m building a brand voice from scratch or refreshing one that has lost its way, I am known for my ability to understand. I begin with connection - then get right to the soul of each brand and write the words that will showcase it to the world.

​

I write words that make you feel things. Copy that makes people believe.
