Meet the (slightly overactive) imagination behind the keyboard + the (likely over-caffeinated) human behind the French press
IT STARTS WITH STICK FIGURES + PULITZER-WINNING POETRY (SORT OF)
As a little girl I loved writing riveting short stories on blue construction paper paired with exquisitely drawn stick figures. During this time, I also perfected long-winded poetry that, in my eyes at least, was wildly profound.
MY WORK EVOLVES TO COVER WORLD WARS + MILDLY ALARMING STATUS UPDATES
As a teenager, I particularly excelled at writing horribly inaccurate history papers based on lectures I couldn’t be bothered to actually listen to. That, and expertly crafted, cryptic AOL Instant Messenger away statuses.
THAT IG AD DROPPED INTO MY FEED ALMOST 10 YEARS AGO.
The same deep love for writing that penned those construction paper stories now gets to be used to think up big ideas + craft words that have life beyond my parents’ refrigerator.
THE ANSWER TO ALL MY ADULT PROBLEMS SERENDIPITOUSLY FINDS ME
I learned that people will pay me to write when I come across an ad from copywriting coach #3,914 on Instagram. Thankfully, it turns out I can draft emails on a beach in Bali + make enough money in 90 days to buy my own damn beach!
And in case you were wondering, no — I’m not writing this from a beach.
I’m writing it from a home office with 12 emotional support drinks and an empty plate next to me that once held sweet potato fries.
Some weeks I have to write ‘go outside please’ into my calendar because otherwise I forget the outside is a thing that exists.
And, since embarking on this career path, I’ve yet to have a first date that didn’t include being asked to trademark Dave’s brilliant business idea because no one knows wtf a copywriter actually is.
Underwhelming dinner dates aside (poor Dave), these are my fav things about this work in no particular order:
I get to create with genuinely amazing brands + founders whose work makes inhabiting this world SO much richer and more beautiful.
I have the freedom to run my other businesses, Saved by Something Beautiful, Sober Strong | Revenue Rising, and X alongside it. Some of the amazing brands + founders I mentioned even cross-collaborate into them.
