nDash.com is a content creation platform that provides brands and agencies with access to the world's top freelance writers.
I come from a background in international product development and sustainability implementation. For many years I managed manufacturing concerns, then began to understand the need to improve how we use environmental, human, and technological resources to create a healthier bottom line business performance.
This experience informs my writing, and I've been able to work with a diverse spectrum of clients within many cultural and linguistic contexts. These have ranged from startup to sovereign wealth fund and covered concerns in manufacturing/industrial, urban change, healthcare, SaaS tech, nonprofit, science and sustainability.
In terms of writing style, where possible I like to use some humour to illuminate complex topic matter. Otherwise, I'm also happy writing drier academic or business style, and in white paper and report material can replicate the required tone of voice. I work well with SEO-optimised blog content or can take on longer article and report projects.
