About Inkstone Copy
At Inkstone Copy, words are treated with care and intention. By taking the time to understand each business, I help shape content that feels honest, clear, and genuinely aligned with who you are.
Welcome! I’m Claire. An experienced copywriter and content specialist
inspired by quiet curiosity and the craft of storytelling.
Brisbane, Australia is home.
After many years of working in corporate communications within large organisations, I founded Inkstone Copy to work more closely and intentionally with clients. Today, I work with thoughtful businesses who value calm communication and want to connect with their audiences in a meaningful, unforced way.
Over time, writing has moved with me through different seasons of work and life – professional, creative and personal. It has shaped how I think, how I listen, and how I translate ideas into language that feels steady and human. Whatever the context, writing has always been there.
When not behind a laptop, you can find me (on a good day) – with my family at the beach, scribbling musings in a notebook, or going for a swim.
My work is grounded in professional experience and qualifications, both of which shape how I approach each project.
