About me

Most people call me Carrie but I was born Carmel and will answer to either. I also answer to “Sorry?” and “Oi!”.

I write feature articles and long-form content and support a wide variety of organisations with content strategy and copy rebrands. I do not do social media; I will not Tik your Toks.

My work and I have appeared on paper, online, and on air courtesy of the BBC, Salon, TNW, The Berliner, Visual Verse, and several others. I formerly ran the Berlin Content Meetup and a small mentorship programme called Leg Up.

After 11 years in Berlin, I am now based in Dublin, Ireland.

I am currently taking on freelance commissions. Get in touch!
