Language is the common denominator. Before images there were words: the building blocks of humanity that brought us together. I aim to achieve the heartache, the wistful, the passionate, the very essence of human emotion with the tool that makes us human. I am a well-versed dabbler in: • Conceptualizing a campaign strategy
• Creating a brand voice (and the corresponding brand book)
• Acting as Creative Manager, bearing responsibility for overall creative quality requiring minimal assistance from more senior managers
• Editorial services, writing services, copyediting services, advertising writing & more
• Omni-marketing adaptations (translation: ecommerce, catalog, social media, blogging, retail, direct mail and so much more it's exhausting, yet exhilarating)
• Overseeing catalog writing from start to finish, including editorial headlines, revisions, and the nitty-gritty production aspects, like proofing and copy chop-suey in InDesign • Overseeing work by agencies on landing pages, events, video scripts and more
• Giving feedback on writing done by other teams and writers
• Collaborating with product design, merchandising, marketing, and other departments to evolve the way a voice connects with its millions of viewers
• Advocating for customers while understanding product and business goals
• Finding innovative new ways to tell a story
• Adaptable, accommodating, flexible... and let's forego the rest of the corporate adjectives: I like to think of myself as sunny side up with a side of dry wit
• Proficient in InDesign, Asana, Basecamp, Trello, Smartsheet, and the usual suspects (google and microsoft office)
