SCROLL
A good story sticks with you
– for a reason
Grammar, syntax, flow. Descriptions that ignite our senses. A voice that captivates our mind. It's science, woven through the art of storytelling – and it's the invisible architect of powerful narratives that drive results.
Let's craft yours – and move minds with purpose.

About Me
My background is untraditional; it’s not a straight-line – making the strength and versatility of my skillsets unparalleled. I studied experimental psychology and English literature at Columbia; I learned marketing and business hands-on at The Wall Street Journal; I refined my eye and expanded my understanding of design and animation at Hornet. Throughout all of this (and since I was a kid), I immersed myself in stories and understanding the human subconscious, exploring what it’s like to be different individuals, in different situations, with different backgrounds and interests, sometimes even in different worlds.
In other words, I’ve absorbed the principles of science, business, and art, learning to combine and wield them to move minds and inspire action – and there's nothing I love more than to help others do the same.
A Story Crafted For You
Whether it's a 360-marketing campaign, podcast script, website copy, or help with a resume – every project deserves its own narrative, and strategically connecting that with an audience is my specialty.
​
Connect with your audience on a psychological and visceral level.
The right combination of style, syntax, and flow. The principles of behavioral psychology and neuroscience. The collection of audience insights, research, and the transmutation of data. Find the perfect balance? The consumer is not only primed, but happy about it.
Pitch Development & Treatments
With a track record of winning commercial pitches for companies across industries like Food & Bev, Fashion, and Tech, I'll help you produce and develop your pitch while writing a treatment that is both strategic and inspiring.
Resumes & Cover Letters
Even a resume and cover letter deserve an interesting narrative! I'm a wizard at taking someone's work experience and showcasing it in a way that shines a light on their best, professional self. I can elevate established documents, or create them based on a detailed conversation. Either way, you'll walk away with a resume and/or cover letter that stands out from the crowd and exemplifies your most impressive work personality and history.
Marketing & PR
Rebrands, cross-funnel and cross-channel campaigns, PR articles that sing your achievements.
Whatever the need, I'll distill your message and strategically flex the writing style to best match its delivery platform. All while developing a narrative in your own voice and tone that captures the hearts and minds of your audience.
Scripts
There's nothing I love more than a bewitching, well-written story – except for maybe creating them. Whether for a film, podcast, commercial, or TV show, I'll help you craft your narrative with the most compelling style and tone, no matter the medium.
