James Darvill

Content Writer

I'm a diverse writer with experience in creating a variety of long-form and short-form content. No matter the topic, style, or tone of voice, I have no trouble adapting my writing to whatever is required.

Alex Garwood

Writer, Analyst, Dreamer

In my life I wear many hats. One (a Panama with a red band) is that of an analyst and researcher, able to find all the relevant information you didn't know you needed and transform it into the most useful form. Another (a velvet mortarboard with tassels) is that of a writer: whether fiction in the form of barely constrained imagination, or fact with speeches that pull at the complex elements of the human soul, I write because I have things to say that no-one else has. Other hats may make appearances from time to time (a beanie with inbuilt headphones for programming, a midnight blue fedora for moonlighting as a pianist, or a 14 foot high chef's hat for in a kitchen), and I'm certain as life goes by I'll acquire more still. I look forward to sharing with you all the skills (and hats) I have.
