Portland Creative List A little theme for wordpress, please recycle.

I produce materials made of words. Some are salty, some are sweet. Some are silly, some are serious. Some are true, some are not. Some contain pulp. All contain juice.

Digital and print, big and small, square and round…I offer a broad range of services and seek variety in my writing and editing work. I lead with humor but apply myself to tonally straight-up work with diligence and seriousness.

My mission is to create stunning, authentic and inspiring content that uplifts my community and empowers people to share their uniqueness.

Everyday I see sprouts of brilliant expression in open studios, galleries, warehouses and house shows. I see people creating because it’s the thing they love most. For some this is a hobby but for us it is a necessity.

My passion is storytelling. I’ve studied photography, video editing, sound design and more so that I can communicate in the most effective way. My goal as a story teller is to shine light on my community. I feel so fortunate to be immersed in this vibrant and beautiful culture. I want to showcase the music, poetry, art and dance of this place. I want to share this culture so that it doesn’t fade away.

Writing is more than a form of communication. Writing tells your story. Your audience will make their first impression based on how you present yourself. Let’s tell the story you want to tell and let’s tell it together in a voice that’s uniquely you.

I am graduate of the University of Oregon with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature. With over 12 years of professional writing experience I have had the pleasure of working in a wide variety of fields. Please see my writing samples for a taste of my content in corporate, small business, restaurant, food + music reviews and personal storytelling.
