Hello

I’m Heather, a creative lead with more than 20 years' experience turning complex health and social issues into persuasive campaigns, stories and content.

Combining a background in health journalism and national magazine editing, with creative leadership in marketing agencies, I shape strategy, dream up campaign ideas and write compelling copy that inspires people to act. This can mean creating anything from digital and press ads, to emails and direct mail.

With strong ideas and a deep passion for social causes, I love driving campaigns that help protect our planet, defend human rights, improve health, fight to end homelessness and more.
