Equal parts brains and heart
New product development, branding, content, and marketing for every business
My job is all about listening. First we chat about what you do and for whom, how you work, and why your work important to you. Then I use what I learn to craft your business requirements, brand guide, or content.
What I do
I grow small businesses and startups with distinctive brands, websites, blogs, ads, and social media. I also conduct research and analysis, and produce requirements that help design and development teams build great products.
My specialties
I specialize in business analysis, content strategy, marketing, and new product development. I gather requirements from teams of big brains (and my research), then funnel it all down into crisp, organized materials. My network includes fabulous developers, designers, QA analysts, and data experts.
Who I help
My clients work in software and digital services, business and management consulting, innovation, philanthropy, energy management, workforce staffing, community development and affordable housing, retail and food service, public health and education, home and garden, ecology and conservation, publishing, and performing arts.
How I work
Expect me to arrive ready to collaborate with your team, conduct independent research, integrate feedback, and balance competing priorities like a champ.
My favorite projects
I love to contribute on projects that support healthy people, neighborhoods, and wildlands.

She took pages of information, asked all the right questions, and wrote 3 brochures that I feel are simply outstanding. We got the job done on time and on budget. We had some late nights and worked some weekends, but she stuck with it and never complained. I recommend her for your next project.” – kathi “george” wheeler, Designer, Owner, Noise w/o Sound design studio, Seattle, Washington
