Hello, welcome to my desktop... please browse around to look inside my brain. You can drag windows and icons around just like ‘the real thing’. I made this site look like a Windows Classic desktop because that is where I learned to do everything I know how to do.

Georgia takes the extraordinarily complicated and transforms it into something which is simple and accessible without being patronising. What's more, she's very fun to work with and highly communicative. My best kept secret!

Alice Thwaite, founder, Hattusia

Georgia combines the qualities of curiosity, humility, and gregariousnes in everything she does. She builds relationships of trust and asks highly intelligent questions that unlock the correct next actions on a project. Plus, she's an excellent writer on anything tech, data, and society.

Jo Kerr, Director of Impact & Innovation, Turn2us

Georgia makes B2B content FUN. B2B has a bad rap: those hundred-page white papers; dry content only for those niche industries. She is the B2B content creator everyonen needs, turning complex topics into simple writing anyone can understand, and above all, adding colour to industries that need it the most. I can't recommend her enough!

Erika Smith go-to-market strategist

Georgia is a pro at taking your shambles of copy and reshaping into a charismnatic story which captures the unspoken essence of your desires. She did this with my game, and could do it with yours...

Mutual Dislike is a cool zine of short fiction printed in a tabloid newspaper. It's the best newspaper you'll ever read...

At the moment the most important thing I'm making is MUTUAL DISLIKE, a zine of flash-fiction printed inside a tabloid newspaper. Special bonus surprise: it's free. "Fiction is my passion," said Georgia.

ALICE is a story with images and, honestly, I made it as a secret santa gift in 2014

MODERN LIVING is one of the first books I made, and it explains how to live a modern life

ABINOX is some long-fiction inpired by this album of 8bit music. Each chapter is named after a track on the album. It's about hedonistic space travellers, I guess. 

PEPSI KING is s series of stories I wrote on a typewriter, all of which fit onto a single side of A4, and followed very similar themes. E.g. there was always a king in it, and usually something happens with pepsi

The SER is a personal anthology of short and flash fiction. It was my first purge of ideas after I decided that writing was a thing I really enjoyed. My writing is much less serious than this now.

GIRL MOTHER FATHER is about a girl who runs away from home and receives weird notes from her ghost mother, and annoying letters from her inept father

I like making random crap sometimes; it has literally no use but it's fun to mess around with or look at for like five minutes. I'm not very good at coding so like, DON'T look at the code and DO expect it to be broken in some way. Sorry etc.
            
			

Present Day

I write about technology constantly, whether for my clients or for myself. I produce a quarterly zine of techno-dystopian flash fiction and I write Horrific/Terrific, a highly critical anti-captialist tech newsletter.

about.txt

I'm a freelance writer, researcher, and podcast producer. If you want to *do business* you should probably have a look at a slightly more proper CV
			
I make content and tell stories, through a range of mediums: blogs, podcasts, computer games, reports, WHATEVER. Look at this comprehensive list of writing samples.

I work with nonprofits and think tanks in technology politics to bring research to life, and create meanfinful narratives that stick. I currently work with The Maybe to produce Computer Says Maybe, a podcast that challenges the politcs and power of technology.

Previously I've worked with AWO, Careful Industries, and The Wellcome Trust, among others.

I also write Horrific/Terrific which outlines my feelings about tech culture and the current state of our billionaire-mediated world.

Likes:
+ Computery nostalgia
+ Making content about how we're all managing our own demise (it's fun!)
+ Dystopia (pls accellerate the apocalypse so I can live an immortal disembodied life)

Dislikes:
- Machine recommendations (do not presume to ‘know me’; you are an algorithm)
- Gender reveal explosions (think of the wildlife ffs)
- The proliferation of moral panics (porn is my favourite 'health crisis' actually)
