Craft first. Strategy always.

I'm a Charleston-based copywriter and brand strategist with experience building voice from the ground up — from naming and positioning to the line of copy that makes someone stop scrolling.

My work at Kennedy Gray contributed to a brand identity that earned the Garden & Gun Made in the South Award. Beyond print and campaign work, I've developed and executed social strategy that consistently hit 15–20% engagement rates across client accounts.

I write for brands that take their story seriously — and for people who've learned the hard way that a clever tagline without strategic grounding doesn't last long.
