About Me
Niraad is a copywriter...
Okay, I hate these third-person things. Let me do this like a human!
​
I've been a copywriter for 3 years at Goodstuph.
I joined with no copy experience at all, in fact I walked into the interview with a portfolio of just 5 photographs (from my 10-year art background)! I figured, if I could talk my way into the job without any experience, I would have proven myself to be worth the risk – they agreed!
In those 3 years, I rose from an Intern, to a Junior, to a mid-weight Copywriter – utilising my unique understanding of both copy and art in my work, to get the best out of each.

WARNING
I would be doing you a disservice if I didn't warn you beforehand...
I love puns.
I know half of you clicked off right there. It's okay, I get it.
​
Most copywriters hate puns and the few that do, pretend they don’t.
I proudly use them for good... and bad! See, I will annoy you with incessant jokes
but I also use wordplay to my advantage in my conceptualisation and copywriting.
It's like a switch in my head I can't turn off, so I've simply learned to channel it productively.
Bear with me, I promise it'll be worth it!
