More ad clippings laid out in a rough grid. They say things like "The most trusted name" and "Are dogs the new babies?"

I am fascinated by
what we decide to say and how we decide to say it.

Dozens of ad clippings laid out in a rough grid. Text includes "Save time and money," "Roll up your sleeve," and "Go ahead, splurge a little"

My marketing career started 15 years ago while I was studying linguistics at San Francisco State University. By the time I graduated, moved to Chicago, and became a copywriter, the two interests were permanently entangled. 

Now in Portland, OR and growing weirder by the second, I still love what I do. From 9 to 5 you’ll find me owning brand voice, GEO, and all things copy/content for Rocket Loans. After hours, I’ll make art out of magazine clippings and try to get my son hooked on phonics.

I’m also working on writing a book, but am open to freelance projects that can help me avoid it.

Anything related to space, science, finance, food, nature, recreation, hospitality, and kids/family is at the top of my list.

Opportunities to work with Black-owned businesses, female founders, and certified B-corps are tough to pass up.
