If words were clothes, we’d be couturiers.
Leaving the safety net of corporate employment behind, Umayya and Sam founded Word Couture Co. in 2016; a female-powered communications company that connects excellence with affordability. With over 15 years of writing and editing experience across various fields and platforms, they understand that written content is far more than just words on paper or letters on a screen. Assisted by an extended network of experts in graphic design and development, they meticulously craft text that’s grammatically flawless and stitched with UX in mind to capture and showcase a brand’s unique tone and personality. However, what sets this team apart from the rest is their specialisation in communicating sustainability; a sought-after service by companies eager to build a new generation of business wherein ethics meets aesthetics, and greener and cleaner processes are at the very heart of what they do.
