Portfolio

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.

If you’d like to talk about how I can help with your individual or corporate communications please reach out at: aaronducat@gmail.com.

CHIDORI MASSAGE

And Why Not?
