This is the story of Kim Atkins, a woman who followed God’s voice in the creation of inspired jewellery to encourage women and empower a community. By Tamsyn Cornelius

Hi, I’m Tamsyn Cornelius and I am a freelance writer and editor with over 10 years of experience in digital and print media.
I am a creative at heart.
I love beautiful imagery, interior décor and design, long summer days, DIY and filling blank canvases with colour.
I am a wife and a mom of two (three if you count the dog) and I work from my home in Cape Town… but home is really where my family is, so I have been known to lug a laptop along on family vacations and may often find inspiration in the strangest of places – whether on a bus trip through Istanbul, or in one of the many splendid roadside coffee shops along the pristine coastline of the Western Cape.
I tell stories…
I provide creative content for clients from all around the world as a freelance writer. From marketing material and business profiles to magazine feature writing, lifestyle and parenting blogs, social media management and more… I am your go-to gal for stand-out editorial. I dream, breathe, live beautiful copy and I love being able to translate ideas and life experiences into words. In other words, I tell stories… stories that sell, inspire and have real impact.
You know when you just know…
From the moment I first picked up a pen to copy lettering at the age of 5 or 6, I knew I was going to be a writer. I was born for this.
I found my happy place lost in stories and partook in any creative writing assignment that came my way. With a passion for writing, I then completed a B.A Degree in Media & Writing and English Language and Literature (2006, UCT).
I love freelancing…
Over a decade later and many hours on the grind, I now have the privilege of working for myself and daily interacting with some amazingly talented people and companies. Whether interviewing a South African hero as a cover story for a Christian magazine or inspiring beautiful interior design as the social media editor for one of SA’s leading online design and décor portals… this is my happy space. I specialise in content related to faith, parenting, design, décor, wellness and more and I’m all about empowering others to find their God-given purpose and to make an impact in the world. If you’re looking for a fresh perspective to help grow your brand, do get in touch!
Cheers,
Tamsyn
This is what 10 years of marriage looks like
I remember that Spring afternoon in October 2008 like it was yesterday. It was a cloudless day in Stellenbosch, much like today.
