Writing and content strategy

My niche is sustainable fashion, circularity, low-waste living, and travel, but I am always open to exploring new topics. Skilled in copywriting, editing, creative marketing, social media, and storytelling strategy, with a deep-seated passion for collaboration and using business to drive change.

Copywriting and editing for print, digital, and everything in between. Projects include catalogs, email, website and blog content, product descriptions, line guides, social, packaging, in-store signage, promotional material, hang tags, etc.
