1. **How did your startup/business journey begin?**

I've always been a writer, in one capacity or another. But my journey as a freelance copywriter started 4 years ago, when my wife was offered the chance to teach English in Japan. We jumped at the chance, and moved our comfortable life to Sasayama, a little town in the Japanese countryside.

I needed to work too, so my boss at the time put me onto freelance job websites (Upwork in particular). Thanks to these forums, I was able to take the writing skills I'd learned in my previous roles and turn them into my own business endeavour, and helping clients create their own unique brand voice. 

I started off writing at a little table in a tiny kitchen, looking out at the changing seasons, and building my business remotely. Two years later, when the time came to move back to Australia, I began reaching out to local contacts and clients and started to grow my business back in Perth. 

 

1. **What are you working on at the moment?**

Interestingly, business hasn't slowed down too much, despite everything that's happening in the world at the moment—it's just shifted focus. I'm currently working on a number of fantastic projects with some amazing clients, a few of which include: an electric bike brand, a local vet chain, an international payment platform, and a couple of financial advice firms. It's a fun mix.

 

1. **What do you love about being a part of the Spacecubed community?**

I love the mix of people, projects, businesses, and viewpoints that you get within the community. I've spoken to a range of really interesting, passionate people, across a huge range of industries. And being part of the Spacecubed community means you're able to keep in touch easily with these contacts, and see their progress.

 

1. **Can you share with us one of your favourite success stories?**

One of my favourite success stories is one of my current clients, Sage Vets. They're a local vet chain south of the river. I was contacted by this client in my first year of running the business, and we've been working together ever since. We've built a strong relationship together, they've been on the journey with me as my business has grown, and we're currently going through a second brand refresh together. 

 

1. **What do you hope to achieve in 2020?**

2020 has given us all a lot to think about, I reckon. While my immediate focus is on helping my current clients through this time, my aim for 2020 is to keep building my business, and grow a strong client base of brands and companies who want to tell their story, their way, in their unique voice. And I also want to help other Spacecubed community members do the same.
