About

Hi, I’m Lu

I’m a writer, designer, editor, social media marketer, event coordinator… Basically, I want my fingers in all of the pies!

I have a First Class degree in Creative Writing with Publishing from Bath Spa University and from here discovered a love for all things creative. The degree helped me hone my skills in writing and editing, gain knowledge in web and print design, and encouraged me to teach myself about SEO and coding.

Freelancing

I do all of this in my spare time alongside to part-time jobs. This does not mean that I give any less importance to freelance projects, but it enables me to explore more different disciplines! One day, I would love to be able to freelance full time.

My method

When I start a new project I like to learn about what is truly wanted. It is alright to have a brief, but so much better to get to understand the person I am working for.

After that, I will keep you up-to-date with progress to make sure I am on the same page as your wishes. I may send you sketches or drafts until we are both happy.

Why an octopus?

I have always had a scientific brain and love to learn. I am fascinated by creatures and in particular the octopus. I first met a Giant Pacific Octopus at Seattle Aquarium in 2016 and have learnt as much as I could about the creatures ever since.

Did you know that an octopus does not have a central nervous system, but that each tentacle can move independently of its brain? Each arm can be working on something different that may or may not be related to what the other arms are doing. In the same way, I have a long list of disciplines, from SEO to logo design, and can help you with just one aspect or the whole package.

So…
