Hey, Iβm Katie!
Messaging wordsmith & your brandβs ultimate hype gal
If youβre anything like me, that first year or two in business was basically white-knuckling it.
Putting on your most professional face, and hoping no one knew how many *Important Business Things* you Googled each day.
Your ideal client? Literally anyone who would pay you to partner with them. (Same)
Fast forwardβ¦
Youβve noticed which projects feel a little βmehβ and which ones give you butterflies and heart-eye emojis.
Youβve had some clients that were definitely not worth the money. And youβve got regular coffee dates in your calendar with ones you became besties with.
(Me too)
But knowing who your target audience is, and actually attracting them?
Those are 2 different things.
If your business has grown, but your messaging hasnβt kept up things start to feel stale real quick.
And you definitely didnβt start your business to do work you donβt love with clients who leave ya feeling drained.
I can help with that, friend.
My Mission?
Helping creative business owners find the right words to own their expertise.
Together, weβll craft a clear brand message that connects with your dream clients and attracts your favorite types of projects β so you can do more of the work that lights you up.
And, when itβs time to promote your business β on your website or social media, in publications, podcast pitches, and more β youβll have all the words you need at the ready. Copy and paste with confidence, and then get back to doing what you love.
βBefore, there was a disconnect in our messaging, and it didnβt always feel authentic. It just felt like really pretty language. But it didnβt feel like ours.
We wanted to connect with the right people, and the right projectsβ¦
And we are now.β

Soβ¦howβd I get here?
Well, after never quite knowing what to do with my fine arts degree, I discovered the world of copywriting. It was the perfect fusion of left-brained strategy and right-brained creativity.
As a freelance writer for Dotdash Meredith, I spent years creating native ad content for their suite of online publications, including:
Real Simple, Better Homes & Gardens, Food and Wine, & People
featuring brands like
IKEA, Facebook, Hulu, Similac, & Barclays
My favorite part of the job?
I loved the challenge of mastering each publicationβs distinct voice.
Putting on the hat of each unique reader and speaking their language.
And somewhere along the way, I realized:
I could leverage this skill to help not just big name brands, but creative entrepreneurs and small businesses, too.
Why brand messaging?
The right words capture your magic, helping you leverage your skills, serve your people, & earn good money.
So you can build a full, beautiful life outside of work, too.
as the daughter of small business owners, I know entrepreneurship is never really a 9-5.
Itβs who you are.
So building a business that lets you
live a creative life, partner with great clients,
& have time and energy for friends and family, too?
Thatβs the dream.
letβs get you the marketing words to make it happen, yeah?
βYou captured me, my aesthetic so well. I didn't think it was possible. You surpassed my expectations!
I almost feel like I have a better understanding of my own business and my own voice because of our experience.
You may have made me better at my own job and I don't think I can give you a bigger compliment than that.β

When your brand messaging is crystal clear about exactly who you are, what you offer, who itβs for, & why itβs so valuableβ¦
Youβll find your people.
So, who are my people?
I love partnering withβ¦
Business owners with big ideas and big hearts
Creatives and creators who LOVE what they doβ¦but struggle to get the words on paper
Growing teams who need clear, consistent messaging β and an efficient way to share it with new hires
Companies whoβve leveled up their offers and clientele, and need elevated language to communicate with their new audience
Warm, kind, fun humans who genuinely care about helping their customers. Who get as excited about serving their people as they do about generating revenue in their businesses
If this sounds like you, youβre in the right place, friend.
By the numbersβ¦
