This page is for my other creative pursuits that don't strictly align with copywriting! I'm a "digital slashie", ensuring I have a diverse, versatile skillset.

She Nomads Sustainably

Debuting in 2023, She Nomads Sustainably is my sustainable travel blog, focusing on eco-friendly, slow travel from an intersectional perspective. I built it from scratch in WordPress.org and continue to serve as its webmaster and content writer. Some of the articles from SNS form part of my portfolio. You can access SNS here.

Social Media

I believe succeeding on social media requires maintaining authenticity for the best long-term success. My specialities include sustainable travel, UGC and content creation. You can view the full videos by clicking on the images.

 

   

 

Instagram reel I made for Green New Deal Rising's Instagram account, focusing on local, sustainable travel.

This is a mock UGC reel to showcase my ability to produce authentic, sponsored content. I don't have a deal with Worldpackers (yet!)

YouTube channel

What originally began as a self-care project in 2021 has since become a full-on side hustle. I fully script and edit all videos myself, aiming to inform and entertain on a variety of gaming topics. While I focus primarily on Japanese-developed titles, I discuss other topics where relevant, including localisation, sustainability and inclusion/DEI. I also designed all the thumbnails myself using Canva and official company assets.

This video analysis of a text-heavy video game showcases my analytical, scriptwriting and long-form essay skills in one of my favourite genres.

 

Gender equality in gaming cannot be fully understood without knowing about Ruby Party, one of Japan's most influential developers. I fully researched and produced this video, to tell their story.

This is my fastest performing video in the Fan Translations series. This series helped grow my channel from 1,500 subscribers in November 2024 to over 3,500 in January 2026. This shows I can deliver results.

This "BreadTube" style video essay, is my best example of showcasing how global issues (ie. the climate crisis) connect to semingly unrelated, minor things (ie. importing video games).

WordPress webmaster support

Alongside my own website, I'm adept at managing the administration of other WordPress websites while respecting their creative vision. This includes crafting engaging design and copy, fast back-end performance, full GDPR compliance, and other technical support.

Here is a work sample. You can view the website here.

Below are screenshots as and when I left the volunteer exchange at this retreat.
