Make your
content
actually work.

I architect the content systems, CMS infrastructure, and AI workflows that enterprise teams and ambitious founders depend on — built to scale, built to last, built without the chaos.

Selected work

Five projects that show the shape of how I work — enterprise content systems, ground-up brand builds, AI-directed workflows, and the writing in between.

The process

Not a slide deck full of recommendations no one implements. A repeatable system your team can run long after we're done.

"Most projects fail because someone started building before they understood the system. We don't do that."

01
The Audit Before the Answer
Week 1

Before we touch a brief or build a single thing, we map what you actually have — your content structure, CMS setup, your team's real workflows. Not the ones in the handbook. The ones that actually happen.

02
Diagnosis, Not Guesswork
Week 1–2

You get a clear-eyed read on what's working, what's creating invisible drag, and where the gaps are. This is where the behavioural psychology lens comes in — we look at how your audience actually moves through your digital environment, not how you assume they do.

03
The Architecture Decisions
Week 2–3

Information architecture, content hierarchy, system logic, governance rules — the decisions that compound over time. You're not handed a document. We walk through every choice and the reasoning, so your team can execute with confidence.

04
Build With Oversight
Week 3–6 · scope-dependent

Implementation happens in the open. CMS templates, UX copy, content governance, web experience — you see work in progress, give real feedback, and course-correct before it's baked in. No surprises at handoff.

05
The System That Outlives the Engagement
Week 6 · Handoff

The final deliverable isn't a file dump. It's a system your team can actually use — documented, trained on, and built for the people running it after I'm gone. I stay available for 2 weeks post-launch for questions and quick fixes.

04 / 09 · Practice

What I'm good for

Eight disciplines across every engagement. Pick whichever shape your problem fits.

01
Content Systems
Editorial models, taxonomies, and content architecture that scale across markets without losing voice.
02
CMS Architecture
Sitecore-grade information architecture. Component libraries, page templates, governance frameworks.
03
Behavioural UX
Decisions made on cognitive load and user intent — not aesthetic preference.
04
UX Writing
Microcopy, error states, onboarding flows. The words that make products feel inevitable.
05
Technical SEO
Schema, IA, internal linking, search-aligned content models. Auditable, not theatre.
06
AI Workflows
Claude + MCP-driven content systems, brand-voice models, AI-directed editorial pipelines.
07
Digital Governance
SOPs, RACIs, publishing rituals — the boring scaffolding that prevents enterprise drift.
08
Brand Strategy
Positioning, voice, and brand systems for early-stage and indie product builds.

STEM · Where the rigour came from

Before the web, there was the lab. A master's in skincare research is where the behavioural psychology obsession started. Evidence-based thinking, controlled variables, human behaviour — it all translated.
