Writing, editing, and other creative fun stuff that matters
Maybe you have a business that needs help with marketing. Maybe you’re a person who needs a a nudge with getting your ideas off the ground. I’ve helped scrappy startups and billion-dollar businesses connect with customers all around the world using words and ideas. I did a lot of stuff along the way that’s helped me bring a sharp and empathetic perspective to everything I’m fortunate to work on, and collaborated with hundreds of fascinating people on projects big and small. I’d love to hear what you’re working on and how I can help.
Things I’ve done (abridged)
Words
I’ve been putting thoughts into words since before robots made it cool. Starting with the gold stars I received for writing essays in elementary school, I’ve considered myself a writer. I then pursued an education in journalism, and have since had the great fortune of partnering with world-class organizations to conceptualize and write all kinds of digital marketing content with a journalistic eye. Blog articles, ebooks, research reports, landing pages, social media posts, customer stories, executive thought leadership and ghostwriting, press releases, and more — enhancing my craft with help from innovations in AI, and excited to continue evolving as tools and philosophies do.
Creative strategy
Sometimes I don’t just write words, but think of other ideas that my colleagues can put into words (or slogans, or visuals, or downloadable guides, or LinkedIn series — maybe all at once for a unified purpose.). One of my favorite things in the world is “finding the story” that a business, person, or creative project is meant to tell, and planning out just how to say it, and when, and where. I also love managing these projects, because hey somebody has to.
Photos, music, and more
I have trouble sitting still. I’ve been a musician nearly as long as I’ve been a writer, and the two often meet — I’ve been the songwriter for multiple bands and solo projects over the course of my life, and have loved performing live ever since someone handed me a drumstick and said “do something with this, will you?” I’ve also fallen in love with photography especially during my years of solo travel, and have dipped my toes into video editing and directing.
