ME

Hey, I’m Kyri.
I’m a freelance creative copywriter. I help in-house teams with the ideas and copy they need to bring their projects to life.
I'm all for simple but strong concepts with everyday, clear copy. So no waffle, jargon, or anything overcomplicated when you work with me.
I was born and raised in London but I am now based in Berlin.
There are more facts about me if you're particularly bored. People have even said things.
