Skills + Tools

Professional + Technical Writing/Editing

My writing and editing experience includes a wide range of internal and external corporate messaging, as well as articles, white papers, and Web content. I am skilled in determining the appropriate tone for the assignment, and in locating and drawing on the resources I need to get the job done. I very much enjoy assisting great thinkers who need writing or editing assistance to translate their ideas to paper (or screen).

Project Management

Over the years, I have been fortunate to work with a number of highly creative and diverse teams on projects ranging from proposals to conference materials to brand guides to websites. I take pride in helping to focus individuals' energy on a common goal, as well as in listening so that the best solutions emerge.

Message Strategy + Management

Helping clients develop a consistent "voice" is my specialty. I can help you determine the core messages that will resonate with your clients and customers, as well as your employees, and recommend effective vehicles for getting those messages out – whether in print, on your website or intranet, or as part of an email campaign.

Branding

Enterprises at all scales can benefit from developing a strong brand – not just as a mark of identity, but as conduit for perceptions and expectations. I enjoy the very different challenges presented by working with an unbranded startup or within a well-established brand that may need to expand its reach or become more nuanced.

Graphic Design for Print and Web

I have a broad range of experience designing brochures, advertisements, mailers, conference booth panels and materials, identity items, and website looks-and-feels. I can manage these projects through to completion by working with internal marketing and IT staff and/or with outside consultants and vendors, including printers and Web developers.
