Ran a content strategy and user experience consultancy working with Fortune 100 companies, big tech organizations, startups, universities, and more. Consulted on enterprise content strategy, content design and UX writing, content audits and gap analyses, and more.

I worked with Rosenfeld to publish my 2012 book, Content Everywhere, and then offered workshops and trainings as one of Rosenfeld's expert consultants.

As a side project to consulting, I set editorial direction and led a team of editors, designers, and developers for A List Apart, an online magazine read by half a million web professionals each month.

Led a multi-discipline team on all things content- and message-related, bringing a user-centered focus to all interactive initiatives. Focused on setting the agency's editorial vision, serving as strategic lead for key clients, and enhancing the content strategy practice with more focus on UX practices.

Built the content strategy practice at Off Madison Ave to help clients plan, create, and govern their increasingly complex content.Designed the agency's content strategy deliverables. Performed content audits and analyses, message architecture, content-focused IA/UX, editorial planning, localization, and SEO activities.

Before creating Off Madison Ave’s content strategy practice, I was its first-ever web writer and editor. Turned design, development, and SEO teams on their heads (in a good way). Edited legacy content, wrote marketing and UI copy, and created editorial calendars and plans.

I delved into the ad world by writing, editing, and proofreading copy for a full-service advertising agency. Learned to love short-form copy, brainstorming, and all things web.

Writing, editing, copyediting, and coffee-drinking. Mostly in and around Eugene, Oregon.
