Don't take my word for it, take my words for it.

Not sure if I can help you? Here's how I've helped others.

The work:

​

While my work with Arklen started out with a refresh of their website and brochure copy, it's turned into bi-weekly blogs and a monthly newsletter. From project spotlights - where I get to flex my storytelling muscles - to trade secrets, these blogs allow Arklen to share their expertise and showcase their work to potential clients. 

​

Favourite words: 

 

"Then there’s the question of who thinks to include a construction piece in their design? The kinds of people who can see that this is all part of the home’s story, of course. So, when the clients asked to include some of the scaffolding planks we’d used in the earlier stages of the build, we couldn’t say no. And so, with a bit of prepping and a beautiful sheet of marble atop it, our scaffolding planks became a feature of their ensuite bathroom vanity..." - From 'Project spotlight: A backdrop for stories on Swansea Street'

Client quote:

We had very high expectations and Ellie certainly met all of those. We continue to work with Ellie and encourage other businesses to do so as well." - Mark Diedricks, Managing Director

Aussie Tiny Houses

The work:

​

Another clients that's been on the books since early 2022, I've worked with Aussie Tiny Houses on blogs, email sequences, eBooks and even awards submissions. All this content helps keep Aussie Tiny Houses's audience informed on all things tiny living, so they can keep helping their clients long before, and after they've helped them achieve their tiny living dreams.

​

Favourite words: 

 

"Items that have memories attached to them are one thing, but if they’re also functional you’ll be on a whole other level. And the more uses it has, the better. Brightly coloured pots and pans, patterned jars or funky lamps will put a unique spin on your home without wasting space..." - From '9 tiny home décor hacks that won't create clutter

​

Leanhaus

The work:

​

My very first client as a freelance copywriter, I've also been working with Leanhaus since early 2022. Working closely with the founder and architect, my work has involved regular blogs and newsletters, and a lead magnet. All help keep his old, current and potential clients informed about passive house design, industry news and business updates. 

​

Favourite words: 

 

"Your self-contained unit can have a multitude of uses depending on what you need at the time. It can be your art studio one month, a second living room the next, and an isolation apartment if someone gets sick after that. The opportunities are endless, and it will allow you to grow, change and age, all within the same house." - From 'Your next new home might have a self-contained unit - here's why'

Loop Home

The work:

​

My work with this incredible GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified homewares brand involved a series of blogs that would inform readers about the brand and sustainable living. To do this, it was important to find a balance between a warm, gender-neutral voice and concise informative blogs that stuck to the facts. 

​

Favourite words: 

 

"But the industry as a whole is still far behind and it’s difficult to survive without the support of equally passionate consumers. So next time you need some new bedding or a t-shirt, get out there and support the retailers who are committed to GOTS. The more we’re supported, the more the entire fashion and textiles industry will be driven to improve." - From 'Commitment to GOTS'

​

Client quote: 

​

"Ellie was quick to understand the sustainability challenges facing the textile industry and demonstrated a real interest in understanding Loop Home and our mission from the beginning. We’ve really enjoyed working with Ellie over the past year and her passion for sustainability shines through in everything that she writes.” - Marcus Nelson, Founder

The work:

​

A mouth-watering (trust me, I've tried it) plant-based meal-kit in Melbourne and Sydney, this amazing brand was an absolute joy to work with. My work involved a refresh of their website copy and two 1000-word blogs, all with a light-hearted, professional tone of voice that would show how exciting it can be to cook with plants.

​

Favourite words: 

 

"If cooking isn’t one of your forte’s, you’d be forgiven for thinking this isn’t the best kind of gift for you to give. What makes cooking such a special gift, though, isn’t how extravagant or tasty the meal is at the end; it’s the time, effort and care that one took to make it. And, if cooking isn’t something you do often, it becomes that much more meaningful." - From 'Cooking to show you care'

Nat'v Basics

The work:
​
Fitting my client profile to a tee, Nat'v Basics have worked, and continue to work, incredibly hard to design some of the most ethical and sustainable underwear available. So it was a pleasure to write a number of informative blogs for them, on topics ranging from conscious living to women's health.

Favourite words: 
 
"To make use of a common budgeting tip, take a moment before you pull out your wallet. Whether you wait a few hours or a few days, this helps to remove yourself from the pressure of the moment. Consider why you want to buy it, how much you’ll (actually) wear it and how long it should last. If you still want to go back and buy it a few days later, then you’ll know it’s worth it." - From 'How to create an ethical and sustainable wardrobe - no matter your budget
