What I can contribute with
My company name comes with an obligation, and I mean that I choose my words with some care. Communication is more than well chosen words though, my work does not only concern language but also strategies, structure, content and partly even form.

As a copywriter I have been working mostly with services and business-to-business, and I think that such stuff suits me best. My academic background has not only made me slightly absent minded but also fearless in front of heavy, demanding assignments. I also like to write about culture, literature, art, ideas and have written a few art presentations, columns, smaller articles and book reviews. For local and national press.

Also...
A generalist who is interested in everything from horses to literature and economics and sports and philosophy and computers and art and… One horse and two kids who soon aren´t teenagers anylonger.
