Specific & relatable storytelling builds an engaged customer base for your brand.
— It’s timeless and cuts through the pressure of social media platforms & algorithms.
As a copywriter, editor, & content strategist, I have worked with inclusive, culturally-forward D2C businesses, such as Kulfi Beauty, Kola Goodies, PODI life, and Saeyri.
I ask: What is the emotional through-line of the stories we’re telling?
I create all types of storytelling: editorial platforms + brand blogs, email marketing + newsletters, ‘About’ pages + branding, founder stories, TikTok + Reel scripts, product descriptions, & campaign launches. Click on some of my storytelling below:
