Hi there!
I’m a creative, detail-focused writer with experience in all sorts of forms, audiences and industries.
I specialize in UX/UI writing (also called content design), ensuring digital products are seamless to use, easy to navigate and reflective of your brand. Whether or not “cancel” should be a button label, the right way to structure an error, deciding between a modal and drawer—it’s all in my wheelhouse.
I’ve also worked as a traditional copywriter in agency and in-house, B2B and B2C settings, writing everything from email campaigns for healthcare systems to welcome guides for new aircraft owners.
In my spare time, I write fiction, read books, play video games, find new music, workout and improve my cooking and baking skills. But you can also find me moshing at concerts and testing seasonal lattes, or seeking out the most intensely chocolate dessert in existence (current frontrunner: Mitchell’s double chocolate chunk ice cream).

UX/UI writing is a usability-centered, brand-conscious approach to the copy in an interface or digital product. If you have ever been frustrated by a confusing pop-up—does cancel mean cancel delete done-for, or like, exit?—UX/UI writers are there to correct the confusion.
Just as UX/UI designers use color, shape, and other design essentials as their medium for exceptional user experiences, UX/UI writers use words. That’s why you’ll often see “content design” as another label for this work; it truly is designing with words.
-
Through the close collaboration that UX/UI writing requires with design, I have extensive experience working in Figma building components, prototyping interactions, using variables, and maintaining style libraries alongside designers and developers. I am affectionately called our team’s “unicorn” thanks to the design skillset I’ve nurtured over the years, and, while not formally trained, I love untangling UX/UI design projects and problems.
-
Absolutely—I have worked 2+ years on standing up a proprietary enterprise design system, managing the CMS (content management system) where all of our consumable documentation lives. As a result, I am very familiar with the required skills and knowledge for creating and maintaining a design system that is easy to use, helpful, and widely adopted.

I do! If you have a particular project that I sound like the perfect candidate for, I would love to learn more and work with you to make something exceptional. Contact me via email to get the party started.
Education
In May 2020, I graduated from The Ohio State University with a B.A. in English and a specialization in creative writing. I received minors in professional writing and communication technology and earned summa cum laude with honors research distinction.
Experience
From my first summer job as a server to my current copywriting position, every role of mine has shaped who I am and how I write.
Extras
I’ve published multiple pieces of fiction and poetry in undergraduate magazines. I have 900+ hours logged in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. I’ve been skydiving in Australia, swimming off the Italian coast and catapulting in New Zealand (ask me about the catapulting—I’ll explain).
