I ran Earthmother Organic for nineteen years: an organic food business and permaculture farm in South Africa. I built it from the ground up and ran it until I emigrated to Europe to begin a new life. That chapter closed. A new one opened.

Now I founded Still Water Writing Studio, a ghostwriting and content strategy practice based in Vienna. What I do is not quite what most people expect when they hear the word ghostwriter.

My process is thorough and a little forensic. I listen, I research, I find the thread. I analyse voice recordings, map patterns across conversations, research everything a client has already put into the world and distil all of it into a foundation document before a single word of content gets written.

I am a ghostwriter and IP analyst and strategist. IP stands for intellectual property: the expertise, insight and hard-won knowledge someone has spent years building. I work with what already exists inside that expertise and build it into something portable.

I analyse and distil content. The raw material already exists inside what you know. My job is to excavate it, shape it and turn it into writing that sounds like you at your most articulate.

I work in English and German with founders, practitioners and experts across the DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and English-speaking markets internationally.
