Hi. I have had tons of experience in everything from photography to design to dining at fabulous restaurants to project management to team leadership to finding the weirdest possible people on Flickr. I basically love the internet and want to marry it. I hope one day this will become legal so our love can be, in society's eyes, real.
Design, e-learning, user interface, project management, print work, web, web, web - I specialise in being in love with my work, working with and within great teams and getting all excited about meeting new deadlines!

I work within the Public Affairs and Policy group to conceive, develop, produce and publish materials that help empower utility consumers to handle their own issues, communicate in innovative ways with scheme participants, and ensure that communications with government and regulators are provocative and constructive.
I'm hoping to secure training in how to utilise the power of a full stop.

Citrus builds smart, beautiful websites for companies who want to make a strong, positive impression online. Their clients hired them because Citrus understand how to target audiences, know how to encourage customer participation and how to communicate the right message. My specific job while at Citrus involved making the websites easy to use and understand, and have them available for as many people as possible. I loved working with the fantastic, talented, wonderful team of people at Citrus.
