Work with a multi-skilled digital marketer 

I am a freelance digital marketing and publishing professional who has worked with some of the world's largest publishers, travel, retail and B2B brands to craft content and marketing strategies that drive results – for 20 years and counting. I've authored multiple children's and craft books and design my own toys and patterns.

​

I am known for having many skills – and learning new ones quickly. I am a published writer and photographer. I know basic code. I have developed training for prompt craft, SEO, HTML and designing with the Ceros interactive platform. I actually like writing award entries and making manuals. 

 

I am always moving, always learning, and I love getting my hands dirty.

"I had the pleasure of working with Karla when we launched Travel Insider for Qantas. With a large task and untested product placed in front of her, Karla faced each challenge wth optimism and great humour. The quality of her work and the ability for her to think outside the square are two of her strengths. Definitely a talent in this area, Karla was key in the success of this product."
