Professional Experience

I produce splendid words and images for a range of design-minded editorial clients and stylish brands. I learned to create stellar content with mass appeal at mega-media companies including Meredith and Disney. I know how to convey a message through gorgeous, powerful images—but I never neglect the basics: sharp reporting, tight editing, clean writing. Editorial: As a senior content strategist with deep experience in engaging a mass audience of buyers and DIYers—especially women ages 22 to 55—I now leverage this experience for editorial clients ranging from the Wall Street Journal to Bobvila.com. Marketing and PR: I put my knowledge of the mom and home-design markets to work for businesses large and small, producing press mailings, product videos, and photography. I also design and write marketing materials and sell sheets. Clean and Gorgeous Copy: Long-form and in-depth, short and snappy, print and digital—I’ve done it. And I deliver it on time and ready to publish.
