Vanessa Clark

Hi! I’m a freelance journalist, copywriter and editor based in Cape Town, South Africa. I write as a journalist and for corporates and agencies. My specialties are business-to-business and technology writing. I like unpacking complex ideas so they are more easily understood — especially when it involves innovation taking place in South Africa, and the rest of Africa.
