I’ve been writing for publication since 2007. I’ve written for magazines including Vancouver Magazine, GuestLife Vancouver City Guide, Western Living, Montecristo, Condo and BC Living. My work focuses on travel, food and drink, urban culture and design. See In Print for clips.

I also write and edit special projects including iPad apps, company blogs, custom content and advertorial publications.

I’ve helped several businesses craft brand language and web content. Please send me an email to find out more about my web content writing rates.

• I've lived all over the world and I make it a point to maintain my relationship with London, my coming-of-age city.
• I am a food trend sleuth. I track trends globally. From the new Scandinavian cuisine to the elemental showdown between slow food and molecular gastronomy, I'm in the middle of the action. With a fork.
  
• I have a thing for profiling designers including: Brian Atwood, Lapo Elkann, Erdem, Jason Wu, Tom Mora, Nicole Bridger, Damian Van Zyll De Jong, Jason Matlo, Anna Kosturova and more.
  
• I speak Norglish - a combination of Norwegian and English.  
• I blog over 30 times per month.
  

I like: Licorice. Biographical minutiae. Sunday morning. Pintxos. Champagne cocktails. Costume parties. Train travel. Hiking. Boots. Hiking boots. 

I don’t like: Holes in my socks. Library fines. Airport security. Cyclists who hog the sidewalk. Mayonnaise. Waiting for travel visas.
