My Story
Snake-wrangler, not.
I wonder as I wander
-
​How did this sprightly nana get so excited about breeding crickets for sale?
-
Where did this rugby player learn how to knit beanies for prem babies?
-
What turned this artist into a multi-millionaire tech entrepreneur?
-
Why does this business owner get tears in his eyes when he talks about water filters?
-
Who knew this woman's holiday to NZ would end up with her running an immigration consultancy here?
-
Why widgets? Just why?!
You can't be a good writer without an innate curiosity about the world around you and what makes people tick. ​I love the way my work allows me insights into other people's inner workings.
​​
Things I love. And don't.
Things I love.And don't love.
I adore my magical 5 a.m. starts to the day, creating things, laughing, reading and musing on life.
​
I'm nuts for all things miniature.
​
I love people with a sense of humour.
​
Despite my pathological fear of snakes, I once allowed an enormous albino python to be draped around my neck with an expression on its face that could only be described as 'keen'. Even now, I shudder, remembering its body's heinous, muscular feeling on my skin. What was that about? I wonder to this day.
My favourite ice cream is stracciatella.
Mussels make me sick. So do hateful people.
​
Above all, I love my beautiful friends and family.
Never a dull moment
My career has put me into some mighty colourful situations. I've:
​
-
run a strategy meeting in a boat perched on top of a skyscraper in Singapore;
-
been to the world's penultimate video game developers' conference and out-geeked myself;
-
pitched to Disney, Netflix, the BBC etc.;
-
interviewed women in Edinburgh about tampons (never laughed so hard in my life);
-
travelled backwards at speed down a steep street in San Francisco when the cable car's brakes failed (wasn't laughing then);
-
explored the jungle in Indonesia, appraising it for filming a TV series;
-
had my passport buried in a garden by kids in Germany and confiscated by police in Hungary.

What's next, I wonder...
