Does your brand know who it is, and how it shows up in a busy world?

My job is to help your brand speak its mind.


I'm a tech lawyer-turned-brand strategist.

I’ve worked with some of Australia’s leading brands, startups and podcast production agencies. I've worn many hats including in-house lawyer at LocalAgentFinder, Commercial Advisor to TEDxMelbourne, recommended content partner of Birchal and Head of Operations at Luna Startup Studio. It's safe to say I've seen a startup or two.

Leveraging the best tech tools available, my digital strategy sessions are designed to discover the emotions that drive your customer's choices. I then craft messaging that speaks to the heart of their problems.

If you need more than words, I collaborate with Studio-Barrie whose expert design team can create your socials, develop your logo and branding and build your website.

"All aspects of working with Word.Haus are great, particularly how efficient they are and the streamlined comms."

— Amanda Youngs, Director, MiLife

"Tessa was great to work with, easygoing, responsive, and took feedback on board really well. We were really happy with the final outcome of both our tone of voice and brand personality documents. She captured the essence of our brand perfectly and made the whole process feel smooth and collaborative."

— Kurt Dudley, Co-Founder, Be A Little

"Tessa has been exceptional at articulating my brand to the consumer, especially as we were re-educating our audience as part of an industry shake up. Tessa was able to use language that clearly allowed the consumer to understand who we were and everything we stood. She has been great to work with over two brands and I've appreciated all her support and finesse."

— Corbin Barry, Founder, The Sage Space

"Working with Tessa was a seamless and fulfilling experience. She brings a rare blend of business acumen and creative excellence. Her process was clear and efficient from start to finish—exceptional communication, thoughtful expectation-setting, and a well-structured workflow. On the creative side, her ideation, strategic insights, and word-smithing were top-notch. And beyond her talent, she’s an absolute joy to work with! I’d recommend her to any entrepreneur looking for support across brand strategy and content creation."

— Amelia Kruse, Founder, Sageform

“Tessa’s creative brain adds so much fuel to The Peers Project fire! She’s extremely efficient, has a wealth of experience and brings a true creative flare to her work. It’s been an absolute delight to have her lead the creative strategy of our podcasts and we love making podcast magic with her.”

— Michelle Akhidnor, CEO & Founder, The Peers Project

— Jase Atkins, CRO and Co-Founder, Cake Equity

“Tessa is a kick ass copywriter. She got me out of a tight spot on a pitch to a major international client. Tessa was able to take the deck, with many contributors and align the copy and messaging while linking it back to the client’s brand statements all on a super tight deadline”

— Edward Woolrych, Executive Producer, Rizer”

“Not only has Tessa edited the hell out of our content and copy to make our brand identity legit, she’s also an absolute legend to work with. I completely rely on her to make sure everything from website copy, socials, EDMs and event descriptions are on point. If you’re not working with her, you’re an idiot”

— Josh Howard, Founder & CEO, Single Use Ain’t Sexy
