I’m a Copywriter and Creative Director with 10+ years of experience, specializing in strategic brand storytelling. Over the last five years, I’ve written or directed more than 300 videos from the ground up—explainers, video campaigns, brand and product videos, social content and more. I’m an expert in crafting clear, compelling narratives that simplify even the most complex problems, products and services. And, maybe most importantly, I always bring a healthy dose of energy, humor and Midwestern kindness to all my projects. Because shouldn’t everyone enjoy the creative process just as much as I do?
