Copywriter + Creative Director

Creative & Design

It’s true: I was named after Otis Redding. Ask me about it sometime. 

I'm a writer with more than 15 years of experience, spanning creative copy, brand voice development and journalism. For the last ten years, I’ve been focused on strategic and creative copywriting for brands, including campaign development, script writing and social media copy and content. 

I’ve worked with brands like Google, Giro, REI, Nike, Adidas, Nest, PayPal, Sonos, and Columbia Sportswear to bring brand stories, large and small, to life. Agencies I’ve partnered with include Swift, Nemo, Cinco Design, Ziba Design, Wieden + Kennedy, Possible and others who choose to remain Top Secret (not kidding). 

Concepts, content and copy, in a range of forms: From branded storytelling to brand voice development, from social campaigns to digital app UX, from copy writing to content strategy. All that, for these kinds of clients: adidas, Nike, Giro Sport Designs, Bell Sports, Nau, Reebok, Fossil, Rossignol, W+K, Ziba Design, Nemo Design,and others. 


Wrote, concepted and oversaw content in support of the Swift brand, focusing on
highlighting the agency’s outstanding work and exceptional people by bringing to life its most compelling stories across mediums: social and web, thought leadership, awards, PR, executive and internal communications.
