These are some facts about me, just in case you're interested.

I'm a native English copywriter living in London who also writes short stories, novels, to-do lists, and birthday cards.

I am the world's best people-watcher. If people watching was an Olympic sport I'd have been accused of doping by now.

I know the lyrics to a surprisingly large number of obscure pop songs - a talent for which I have yet to find a financial pay-off.

I'm a massive city geek. I spent more than two years working as an urban planner and over the years have grown interested in everything from bike lanes to rain water recycling. 

I spent those years as a planner trying to get away with writing increasingly jazzy planning statements before becoming a copywriter.
