Howdy, my name’s Anna.

I’m a Melbourne-based freelance copywriter with a background in film and a future currently up for grabs.

I’ve worked as a creative in advertising for the last 2 years, a writer for 6 and a redhead for 31 - the latter being my most formative.

I believe the best ads don’t feel like ads at all, the book is always better than the movie, and everything is debatable.

I am 73% Dutch Cream potato.
