Plural life.
Founded ThinkStuff, a writing and consulting boutique, in 2016. Two hands and a keyboard for hire. A fresh set of eyes and ears. Consultant, facilitator, and trainer. Trusted advisor and dot-connector, bringing together interesting people and ideas.
Side hustles.

Prologue.
Trained and postgrad qualified as a marketer. Pre-2016, spent 13+ years client-side, leading ideas and teams in marketing, strategy, research, brand, content, and editorial for an international education and membership organisation, at board-level.
Foot notes.

Thomas @ Home
Me.
Live in beautiful Cornwall, on the south-west coast of the UK. Still haven't learned to surf but love being a stone's throw from stunning beaches. Tranquil office at home, work from anywhere... have MacBook, will travel 🛫
Us.
Lucky to spend life with Rachel, my wonderful and equally sleep-deprived partner... where together we serve, ultimately and exclusively, at the beck and call of our three-year old daughter Pippa. And a dog, two horses, and six sheep. But that's a whole other story.
More me.
When not writing, rewriting, or thinking about words...
Squash lover (the racquet sport, not the vegetable) and runner, albeit in dire need of practice. Heston, Marco, or Gordon wannabe. Self-anointed connoisseur of steak, Pinot Noir, and an Old Fashioned.
My head RN.
