Ready for your brand to feel truly human in an AI world?

A warm, softly lit content strategist's workspace at golden hour. An open laptop on a wooden desk emits delicate threads of amber light that flow upward onto a deep blue wall, where they connect to pinned wireframes, user journey maps, a website mockup, color swatches, and sticky notes. A vase of dried pampas grass sits to the right.

You know that quiet “aaaah” moment when someone reads your app, your email, or your site and thinks, “Finally — someone gets me”? That’s the magic I chase every single day.

For 30+ years I’ve been the curious generalist who listens first, prototypes second, and turns sophisticated tech into content that feels effortless and deeply human. A writer with a filmmaker’s eye and a technologist’s curiosity.

Today I lead U.S. Bank’s global Wealth content team — where we shipped our first in-house investments portal and are piloting Jasper workflows poised to shave 40–60% off content cycles, giving humans more hours to pour empathy into every word.

On weekends I freelance for small businesses and direct short films. Wearing every hat keeps me sharp, and curiosity is non-negotiable.

How I work

My principles

Lead with deep listening & empathy

I quiet the noise, truly hear what customers and teammates are feeling, and let that genuine understanding shape every word and every experience we create.

Refine through research and testing

I dive into research, run fast tests, and keep polishing until every piece of content feels effortless, intuitive, and perfectly on-point.

Make it beautifully human

Gorgeous design plus heartfelt storytelling equals emotional glue. When content looks stunning and feels like a warm conversation, people lean in, trust faster, and stick around.

Stay insatiably curious

I’m the one asking “what if we tried this?” at 9 p.m., spinning up quick prototypes and tiny experiments — because the next delightful breakthrough is always one curious click away.

Let AI amplify, never replace

I treat AI as a tireless collaborator — one that handles the repetitive so humans can pour themselves into the emotional. The right workflows don’t make content feel less human; they give us the hours to make it more.

Lift the team, not just the work

Great content is a team sport. I mentor, share credit, document the “how,” and quietly hand off the spotlight — because the real legacy is a team that keeps getting stronger long after I’ve moved to the next thing.
