A Video Post Producer turned Copywriter.

𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞...

Aaaaaand you're still reading this thing. Rad!

👋 𝐈'𝐌 𝐂𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐘

I spent 13+ years in video, tv + film where I worked on saucy shows like “Wives with Knives” and campaigns for brands like Apple, Visa, and Johnson & Johnson. But life hates a straight line, so I pivoted to Copywriting. 

Is it cringe to say I love advertising? Whether it’s developing tone of voice, concepting ad campaigns, or getting down and dirty with headlines all day, I heart it all. 

🔍 Freelancing has been fun. Now I'm ready to make an impact in a full-time Copywriter role at an advertising agency.

Looking for a strategic copywriter for your advertising team? Let's see how I can help your team create the most amazing, non-cringe content ever.

General Manager

At United Envelope, I work closely with clients to deliver customized envelope solutions that meet their unique needs, providing personalized service and tailored products to support their business goals.

I collaborate with clients and with our production team on both the front-end and the back-end to make sure projects are as streamlined, efficient, accurate, and effective as possible.

Previously: Spent many years with a full-service marketing agency, working with clients in both the B2B and B2C space on strategy development and execution. Worked on everything from branding to websites, lead gen, marketing automation, messaging, print and digital media, SEO, social media and more. 

This experience working across all facets of marketing gave me a depth of understanding and perspective that informs my approach to working with clients on the print and direct mail component of their work. No single tactic stands alone, and all need to ladder up to overall business objectives.

Also Previously: Owned and operated a cafe in the Twin Cities for 7 years. Learned more than I ever thought I would about coffee, waffles, business and more, and met some of the most interesting, quirky, funny, smart, kind and generous people in the Twin Cities and beyond. 

Have also coached tennis on and off for about 15 years or so- highschool, private clubs, public junior programs, and private lessons.

If you have an envelope or direct mail question or project I can help with, please don't hesitate to reach out! Or, if you like to talk coffee, tennis or the best waffle spots, don't be shy ;)
