I help business owners navigate the evolving digital landscape and create a brand strategy that stands out by eliminating uncertainty and working collaboratively to uncover new opportunities through research and 1:1 guidance. I work with founders to ensure the brand strategy and brand identity are not only on point but also resonate authentically.

As the Director of a house investment company, my focus extended beyond properties; it was about reimagining spaces and breathing new life into neglected homes.My role wasn't just about overseeing investments; it was about orchestrating transformations. I led a team dedicated to:Renovating Unwanted Properties: We didn't just flip houses; we took on unconventional properties, such as BISF homes. From Neglected to Coveted: Our mission wasn't merely to refurbish; it was to craft homes that stood out in the market, enticing buyers with unique aspects and design choices. Driving Market Appeal: Our renovated properties weren't just about aesthetics; they were strategic investments that appealed to buyers on a deeper level, aligning with market trends and desires.

Project-managing, developing and editing illustrated non-fiction for international markets as part of a co-edition publishing model. **Development** I develop ideas from an initial concept so that essential information about the vision for the book can be conveyed to the author and freelance team ahead of any content creation.**Title Management** I am responsible for managing my own projects and overseeing freelance project management. My tasks include keeping all titles on schedule and to budget, providing regular updates to the rest of the team, briefing external staff, maintaining sales information sheets, checking and editing layouts, liaising with customers and authors, ensuring amends are taken in, and checking relevant permissions are obtained.**Process Development and Management** I have helped the Managing Editor to identify best practices for our imprint and provide documentation and training to the rest of the Editorial team. I have also acted as a mentor for the junior members of our team.**Imagery and Design** I brief and liaise with in-house and external designers, photographers, illustrators, and image researchers for the creation of our titles. I also attend and help to organise photoshoots and conduct my own image research when necessary. I use InDesign daily and use Photoshop and Illustrator when necessary. **Assessment and Creation of Text** I brief and assess sample text from authors and use this to create sample spreads for our customers. I will use this to guide new authors for delivery of the full work and will work to find alternatives if the content delivered is not of the required standard. I also write back cover copy and marketing descriptions for all my titles and I occasionally write content for some of the smaller titles on my list that require editorial input.**Production Liaison and File Archiving** I ensure that files are transferred to production and archived successfully and I address and record amends.

During my role as Development Editor, in addition to my responsibilities as a Senior Editor, half of my time was dedicated to the development of new ideas into presentation material. These presentations would be used as sales material when our Publisher presented new ideas to our publishing partners. Developing this material often involved briefing and giving feedback on multiple directions for the content.
