Copywriter, designer, and marketing strategist
When I was a kid, I always wanted to be a novelist. In college when I was majoring in English, I still thought maybe one day, I’d be an author. And who knows, maybe one day, I will be.
But for now, I’m a marketing specialist who loves writing copy that’s easy to read — especially in complicated industries, like B2B SaaS. Big fan of the Oxford comma and I love bringing conversational tones into red-taped industries.
Early in the beginning of my career, I fell in love with graphic design too. Sometimes, I feel like designing helps me craft my words more carefully. The combination of copy and design intrigues me — I love how they work together, like two colleagues, side-by-side.
If marketing were a recipe, then a sprinkle of strategy is what keeps us grounded.
