I help organizations find and express their unique identity and impact through:
Mission, vision, and value statements | Brand process and documentation | Company and executive profiles Annual reports | Grant proposals | Business development proposals | Fundraising case statements
I help individuals tell their stories through:
Resumes | LinkedIn pages | Personal biographies or web copy | Campaign materials
Here's my recipe: I still work like a newspaper reporter. The best way to find the essence of a person, or a project, or an entire organization, is through relentless curiosity. Ask questions. Really listen to the answers. Ask more questions. Deep-dive interviews, in-depth research, and mining multiple sources of information are key parts of my process.
