big ideas, one word at a time
In a world where it’s challenging to get people to focus on what really matters, I help leaders translate their big ideas into communications that move people forward.
Organizations come to me when they need a problem-solver, a strategic thinker who can not only tell a great story, but who also understands their audience. I’ve worked with nonprofits, governments, and businesses of all sizes—many in wonky or complex sectors—to help them clarify their vision, build momentum, and deliver results.
Writing
I’m a versatile writer with more than a decade of experience. Case studies, speeches, newsletters, op-eds, social media posts, research reports, banner ads, and a lot more—no matter what strategy your organization is pursuing, I can deliver copy that makes a difference.
Editing
Good ideas often need a little help to take shape. I’m a skilled editor with a talent for finding the heart of the story. Whether you’re looking for a few notes or a deeper partnership, I can help you turn your early drafts into your finest work.
strategy
We all have a story to tell. But how do you break through?
I can help you figure out what will resonate with your audience and then work with you to develop your organization’s unique story.
