Ness has an original way of looking at the world that translates into her writing, making it sing. As with the best of writers, she not only captures a sense of place but goes beyond that to embody the spirit of the people she meets. I would have to say her trademark is telling a captivating story with razor-sharp observations and a compassionate heart. With confidence and skill, Ness brings energy to any project and is always ready with creative ideas and a calm outlook. She is wonderful to collaborate with, taking the lead where required and also nurturing talent in others. Ness has won awards as a creative writer but to me the true accolade of a gifted wordsmith is that you feel compelled to read everything they produce. And in doing so, you learn something new about the subject but also about yourself.

Ness is the type of person you dream to have on your team. Creative and committed, she always hits the brief, and then some! It has been an absolute joy to work with Ness on projects like our magazine. Her writing and photography have really helped to elevate the publication and in turn, our brand, in recent years. With her diligent attitude, there is very little she cannot turn her hand to. I have no doubt of her ability to carefully craft and curate for other brands. As an avid reader, she's also the best person to turn to should you need a recommendation of what to read next!

Ness is an incredibly accomplished individual and was a joy to work with. One of her many talents and passions is writing. So many, myself included, would love the ability that Ness has to bring words to life in an enchanting way. She is able to turn the simplest writing task into a beautifully worded piece of art. Her pieces have won awards, and it’s clear to see why, as the language, structure and style she uses is from the heart and true. Ness is one of the kindest people I have ever had the opportunity to work with and it was a pleasure. I do hope our paths meet again.

Ness was an absolute pleasure to work with on the Tate Kids website. Ness’s tone was just perfect - she made it fun, added in lots of cool facts, and made it extremely engaging. I would love to work with Ness again and cannot recommend her enough.

Ness has a natural curiosity that expresses itself in the way she looks at the world around her and, especially, how she gives thoughts words and meaning. Not only does Ness write beautifully, but she is also a very strong team player. I cannot recommend Ness highly enough - you would be lucky to have her in your team.
