A well-written summary, profile or business overview typically features story as an undercurrent; an overall feel that invokes the character of a person, business or initiative. This is where brand can be found, and drawing it out is my strength. I find a way to tease out whatever story needs to be told to make content persuasive, compelling and substantive. In this sense I consider myself a midwife to narrative. My process is highly osmotic. I can take jumbled notes, bedraggled drafts, convoluted thoughts and half-baked ideas and find a way to make sense of them – in a way that is true to the message at hand. Whatever stage your project is in, I can work with it.
