I’m an introvert that loves working from home and setting my own daily rhythms, but I also know how lonely, tiring, and all-consuming it can feel to be your own boss.

I've been running my product business (designing cards and prints) since 2018, and then launched Ace and Wren to support other creatives and entrepreneurs with their copywriting and design needs and marketing. Together we create those just-right words, images and systems for their unique businesses. 

I'm Amy (she/her), copywriter and illustrator with a love for seeing creative businesses grow. 

I like finding the most beautiful way to solve a problem... 



The people I work with have big, beautiful motivations, like transforming their families’ lives; putting their deep beliefs into action; and investing in their communities.

I believe our businesses can change the world when we grow them with balance: protecting our time and energy, and keeping the fun in the running. I can't wait to see you go after those big idealistic goals as you outsource some of the stuff behind-the-scenes.

...AND I LOVE SEEING PEOPLE MAKE BREAKTHROUGHS.



I love the visual side of creativity and run a second business as an illustrator, designing cards & stationery and working with other small businesses.

I’m gradually filling my house with succulents and my garden with vegetables, and I can talk about plants for a VERY long time. Watching BBC ‘Gardener’s World’ is my happy zone.

I’ve always been fascinated by how we communicate - I studied Human Communication Science at university and worked for the NHS for almost ten years.

Like a true millennial, I do reference coffee as often as possible (black please, no sugar).

I also remember memorising my mates’ landline numbers, the twinkly noise of dial-up internet, and a time when the only people using Facebook were uni students.

I write about the impact of loss and grief on my life and work, as well as trying to open up the conversation in a culture that doesn't handle these things well. Read more on my Substack publication:

@ Book of HOurs project

Got a project in mind that's a little off the beaten track? Or looking for collaboration on an unusual idea? I love project briefs that don't follow the normal curve.
