Professional/Personal Overview
A long-time entertainment professional, Ive worked with the most popular and well-known brands and pop culture icons in the world! From collectibles to comics to books, from TV to movie to video games, Ive written catchy copy for catalogs, on line content, packaging and press releases. As a full time freelancer, I help clients articulate their brand or product story for digital and traditional outlets. Story is the heart and soul of any business or brand, person or product. A strong narrative provides a solid foundation from which snappy tag lines, catchy copy and creative campaigns spin.
