I love the rapid-fire pace of projects and the variety of deliverables I work on here. A quick on-boarding download and I’m off, writing anything from video scripts to PowerPoints to website copy and regularly syncing with the team to build ideas and make sure we’re on track. Here are some of my key roles:• Distill big, ambitious plans into quick, easy-to-understand copy• Create high-impact, motivational video scripts for B2B and internal client initiatives• Quickly generate B2C tag-lines and other promotional copy for pitch decks• Clients include T-Mobile, Microsoft, Rolls-Royce, & WatchGuard

I script virtual experiences to land as profoundly as they would IRL. A big part of that is incorporating the voices of key stakeholders by crafting questions that elicit money answers, then purposefully arranging their words into stories that meaningfully connect with their audiences. • Deliverables include sponsored talk shows, virtual site tours, keynote speeches, and pitch decks• Clients include Philips and Boston Scientific

I help teams communicate their design and research work in a way that clearly and immediately connects with their client–a lot of times that means translating engineer-speak into plain English. Here’s how else I add value: • Drive a clear story by unpacking complex ideas with pointed questions and teasing out narrative threads early in projects• Created a presentation deck template to help the team deliver their work with a compelling narrative arc and create continuity across client presentations• Clients include Boeing & Microsoft

• Conducted a plain-language audit of the entire BK app to determine where copy could be more concise, helpful, and consistent• Presented proposed changes to various internal teams for feedback and sign off• Collaborated with greater UX team to strike the right balance between visual and written storytelling• Created usage guides tailored to various departments, including menu, marketing, and rewards teams• Researched like brands to determine industry best-practices• Analyzed existing verbal identity and branding guidelines to ensure new copy was relevant and in line with brand voice across all platforms, including in-store

I love working on consumer-facing projects, and helping AM build its brand was a great way to get my fix. I have fun creating then taking on a brand's persona–shapeshifting is one of the best parts of writing. Usually I'm onboarded after the branding guidelines are set, but here I helped create them. Here are some other aspects of my work:• Write product descriptions, print catalog copy and e-commerce website copy• Audit website content and propose cohesive plan to capitalize on strengths and add value• Edit contributor-generated content to fit within brand parameters

In the beginning, there was the word, and, for The Willary, the word was “pants.” I started my company with 2 pant styles and a vision to design clothes that make women’s lives easier. Year over year I increased our customer base by clearly and authentically communicating the value of our products and our unique positioning. Curiosity and daring led to my favorite (and most successful) strategic initiatives: The Willary Workshop and The “Will Model for Pants” campaign. Both connected The Willary to its audience in meaningful and memorable ways while reinforcing our brand identity. Links to the kickoff of both initiatives are below.Other highlights:Grew online conversion rate 13% (ytd) by writing lively, accurate product copy that resonated with customers, helping them experience products before even trying them onCreated relevant and enticing marketing copy that led to 34-49% email open rate and 14-19% click rateGrew online store sessions 25% and total orders 68% (ytd) by marrying targeted, compelling & shareable marketing copy with strong brand story and product designIncreased customer engagement and reinforced brand identity with a variety of blog posts–from SEO optimized product information to long-form storytelling to customer-relevant news and tips Increased brand engagement and reach by conceiving of clever, user-centered marketing campaignsCrafted and maintained cohesive brand voice over print and online channelsDesigned better, more sale-able garments by asking for and listening to customer feedback on color, fit, design and end-useReduced production costs by collaborating with pattern makers and factory managers to identify ways to modify garment design for more efficient production
