I DON’T POUR MY SOUL INTO MY WORK. I POUR YOURS INTO IT.
I generate ideas that engage people, write copy that convinces people, and create content that people actually want to read.
The answer to the question, “have you done this”? is usually “yes.” For those of you playing SEO bingo, that’s pretty much all forms of digital and legacy media including web, social, UX copy, video, TV, radio, DM, blogging, white papers, training, and presentations.
I have a particular focus on persuasive learning which combines powerful headlines, engaging interactions, and clear explanations.

UX Copy | App Development
This app, designed for Home Depot’s in-home sales division, prompted our client to say, “You’ve given my people an extra hour a day with their families.” (The bottom row of images are screen grabs from the video which greeted customers when they completed their purchase — actual Home Depot employees assuring them, “We got this.”) Learn how we drove adoption here.
Product Launch | Home Page Take Over | CONSUMER
I spent a few years as a contract writer for Cambria so I handled whatever came up, from their regular new products launches to a webinar announcement. Find more of my work for Cambria here.

Taglines | BranDING | Web | White Papers
Rob Reul, the President of Isometric Solutions, is a man who loves what he does.

B2B Blogging | UX
As a writer and then Creative Director at Design Center, I wrote all of our content, capturing the thinking of a first-rate UX design team in blog posts and published pieces such as this.
DIRECT MAIL
My friend Jim Williams and I were asked to help out with the ongoing direct mail for ADT’s largest distributor. The piece on the right was their top performing piece that quarter.

As consultants to mid-market businesses, Grant Thornton’s product is thought. It was satisfying to capture that thought in articles, infographics, and reports. You can view a recent industry report here.

A good client, a good cause, a strong story that we could tell on a limited budget.
