Equal parts brains and heart
Branding, content, and marketing for every business
My job is all about listening. First I ask questions to understand not just what you do, but how you do it and why it’s important to you. Then I use that information to create content and brand elements to help you engage with your customers, colleagues, and communities.
What I do
I grow small businesses and startups with distinctive brands, websites, blogs, ads, and social media. I also produce business and technical requirements that help design and development teams build great products.
Who I help
My clients work in software and digital services, business and management consulting, 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 specialties
I specialize in content strategy, marketing, and new product development, which means I gather requirements and specifications from teams of big brains, and funnel it all down into crisp, organized materials. My network includes fabulous graphic designers, web developers, and data experts.
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
