Let's Get
Joyful

In advertising and marketing, we get served a million platitudes about what it takes to make great work. In my experience, all it takes to make somethin' good is leading with joy and lifting one another up. The weird / wonderful / poetic / powerful / insightful / meaningful work all falls out of that. So, let's start with joy and see where it takes us.

01.

Brand Voice & Tone

I've worked across dozens of brands, each with their own unique targets, POVs, tones, and personalities. Working to establish, evolve, and explore brand voice is one of my great joys.

03.

New Business

I've worked on dozens upon dozens
of new business pitches for brands across the spectrum; from gaming to fast food to alcohol to fintech to coconut water to airlines and fitness. If you need a manifesto writer with a flair for the poetic or comedic, you've met your partner.

02.

Advertising

From scripts to banners to billboards to TikToks to websites to activations, I'm here for 'em all. I've lead and supported 360 campaigns across myriad accounts with an eye toward joyful collaboration across strategy, creative, and production.

Bringin' Big Time Joy

The best part about doing this job
is meeting people and working with them as they attempt to reach and
push beyond their goals. I approach all projects with a sense of joy, humor, and perhaps an over-use of reaction GIFs.

About Me

I'm a Virginia born writer living in Los Angeles and, though my accent is subtle, my Southern disposition comes through in all I do. Since getting my master's degree from the VCU Brandcenter, I've spent the better part of a decade working with all manner of folks, on all kinds of brands, writing in many different voices.
 

I'm also a semi-professional, not-often-performing poet. My latest published pieces were featured by The Los Angeles Press and I'm currently looking for a home for my forthcoming manuscript, Room to Sweat.


I'd love to help your brand or agency make some exciting, hard-working content and have some laughs while doin' it.
