A little bit about me
With years of experience in a wide range of professional environments - from running major civil service departments to commercial start-ups and everything in-between - as a consultant I can draw on a rich mix of skills and expertise. I approach every project with creativity, diligence and empathy. I have postgraduate level qualifications in English literature and language - but more importantly, I listen. Getting to know you and your aims is the key to success.
Off the page, I live on the south coast of England with my family, where I love to swim in the sea as frequently as the storms allow. Just please don’t caffeinate my coffee.
I’d love to help you achieve your goals. Let’s make communications work for you!

Nice things people have said about my work
“Tanya is incredibly talented and has a real knowledge and instinct for programming. She brought an enormous amount of enthusiasm, creativity, knowledge and experience to the role. As our festival programmer, she carefully curated a thoughtful and provocative line-up of writers, musicians and poets to celebrate writing in the short form. She is a champion of diversity, and her programming provided a platform to feature new and emerging talent.”
— Carolyn Chinn, formerly Charleston Trust
“Tanya helped us with our messaging and marketing collateral at the hard launch phase of our project. She gave useful advice on our general communication and media strategy, as well as customer engagement and web design/interface. I genuinely appreciated our discussions; she was professional, creative and knowledgeable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”
— Thomas Paris, Seligo
“Tanya has worked for several years on our communications and marketing. She’s led on new marketing routes for the business and has managed a full website overhaul and 50th anniversary celebrations, as well as all the day-to-day blogging, posting and email marketing. We really appreciate her creativity and professionalism and have seen an upsurge of some 30% in terms of business reach over this period.”
— Jeremy Green, Hayward & Green
It was a great session expertly led by you. Thank you for helping us forge the path to clear communication!
- Isabelle Fish, Rue Pigalle
“Tanya has worked with us on various projects, most recently over the 2018-2020 period to hone our objectives and to evaluate the impact of the Baltics and Indonesia Market Focus programmes. Her particular skill is in connecting with programme participants and partners encouraging them to think and share how these programmes have benefited their work. Her extensive experience working internationally, professionalism and cultural literacy meant that she was able to reach out to international stakeholders and gain constructive insights through interviews that have benefitted our future programme development.”
- Rebecca Hart, British Council
‘Fight, fight, fight. Language is never not up for it. It’s a fight to the life. All we need to do, reader or writer, from first line to final page, is be as open as a book, and be alive to the life in language – on all its levels.’
