about me

Hi, i'm Dean Koorey and here’s a little bit about me. I’ve arranged the chairs in a circle, so take a seat, and we’ll begin.

Age? I’m 34 years old. Place? Kiama, NSW, Australia, with my wife and three kids. It’s about an hour and a half south of Sydney and it’s a really nice lifestyle. Everything is less than five minutes away (except Sydney) and the only traffic jams happen when a mother duck and her baby ducklings cross the road. It's great.

I’ve been freelancing since 2006. Prior to that I worked for a number of years in a big-city full-service whiz-bang Advertising Agency, as both an Art Director and Copywriter. Prior to that I was a Graphic Designer and prior to that I was born.

Having worked on each side of the creative fence – in both the ‘pictures’ and ‘words’ arenas, it gives me (and you) the advantage of seeing the big picture on any given project. In terms of writing styles, I can supply whatever you’re after – from professional to TXT SPK, and everything in between. For me, it’s this variety, plus the variety of products & services I write about, that keeps me turning up to work each day. (Well, that and the fact that I only have to walk 15 metres from my bed.)

Working with me is fun (I should know). Yes, you’ll get your words, but you’ll also have me and my team of typewriting monkeys along for the ride. I’m always on email or mobile to help out with a quick blurb, tricky headline or the answer to 14-across.

I’ll happily provide a quote, won’t get upset if you don’t use it, and if a job ever needs revising, I’m a black-beret-free zone – never too precious about ‘my work’, because really it’s yours. I’m not happy until you’re happy.

Now go and click on something else. The spotlight is burning my forehead.
