I have extensive experience working as a writer, editor, content strategist, proofreader, idea-generator and all around communications problem-solver.
Mostly the work I do helps translate and transition ideas from inside someone’s head to the outside world in a way that’s clear, concise, useable and — if all goes well — fun. While my portion largely involves words, I also have extensive experience collaborating with design teams to craft a great finished product.
Samples of my past work are below. You can also check out the Fiction and Blog pages of this site for additional projects.
