I collect words, given and gathered from others and create bespoke pieces of creative writing for individuals and groups.
With a background in many different fields involving communication and people, I have been writing, variously, all my life. During the past five years I have been developing my ‘wordweaving’ concept. A graduate in Theology from The University of Birmingham, England, I have a keen interest in contemporary spirituality, most of my pieces celebrate humanity, rites of passage, celebrations of relationships. I work at MAC Birmingham, an environment designed to encourage creativity. I have always written to express my feelings, and now see that I can enable others to do the same. Many people say ‘you help us to find words’, others say that I ‘animate’ their words. I am always delighted when people refer to me as a Wordsmith, and refer to myself as a Wordweaver. I use many imaginative ways to enable the gathering of words, and often work in community settings with particular groups.

We absolutely LOVED the Wordweave that Jess created for my Mum’s funeral. From talking to us she managed to pick out all the key things that we remember fondly about Mum – she’s a genius!
