About me

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

From Ireland, I live in Berlin, Germany, where people pay me to put words in the right order.

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.

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