About Me

Richard van der Merwe


Great content doesn't just inform—it influences. With a strong background in tech copywriting and content production, I specialise in creating compelling narratives that bridge complex technological concepts with business strategies — and resonate with both experts and everyday readers.

I've contributed to publications that explore pressing industry trends, from economic insights to advancements in technology. My process is grounded in research, collaboration, and an ability to translate intricate subjects into meaningful, actionable material.

Whether shaping long-form reports or quick-turn editorial pieces, I focus on producing work that is precise, engaging, and aligned with strategic goals. Content, at its best, is a medium for clarity and connection. That is the standard I bring to every project.
