Experienced Copywriter, Editor & Writer. Let me craft compelling copy and engaging content that captivates your audience, sets you apart from the competition, and helps you achieve your goals. I'm an art historian and writer with experience doing artistic and historical research, working in museums and with living artists. I have both a MFA and MA, and love doing everything from academic work to creative writing. My favorite writing projects are articles, blog posts, and social media content, but I have extensive experience writing and editing resumes, CV's, marketing materials, and cover letters. My particular expertise is in art, history, fashion, culture, and not-for-profits, but I have worked with clients in the healthcare, law, literature, and education spaces.

With over a decade of experience in the banking, legal, and business consulting sectors, I specialize in presentation graphics, technical writing, and content strategy. I’ve worked with several Fortune 500 law firms and consulting firms, creating high-impact PowerPoint presentations, drafting and proofing legal documents, developing RFPs and grant proposals, and documenting workflow processes with precision and clarity. My skills span across MS Office, Adobe Creative Suite, and a variety of project management and writing tools. I’m known for being fast, efficient, collaborative, and an excellent problem-solver—with strong research abilities and a deep understanding of AI-assisted workflows. Beyond corporate communications, I’m also an award-winning storyteller, screenwriter, and former business owner with a background in branding, editorial strategy, and marketing. I was recently selected for the 2025 NBCU Launch Television Writing Fellowship, a competitive program that honors fresh, compelling voices in media. As a Columbia-educated English Lit major, I’ve brought creative insight and sharp messaging to everything from technical manuals and business plans to ebooks and investor pitch decks. Whether I’m interviewing subject matter experts, synthesizing complex data, or streamlining content for clarity, I bring strategy, structure, and polish to every project. I’ve successfully completed 60+ projects on Upwork and enjoy working with clients who value versatility, creativity, and thoughtful execution. I’d love to learn more about your needs and explore how I can help bring your ideas to life.

Most clients bring me in at one of two critical points: before the story gets built, or after it isn’t working. Sometimes we’re starting from scratch and deciding what the company should own, what the messaging needs to lead with, and why the right people should care. Other times, the website has already been rewritten twice. The pitch deck has been growing. Or everyone on the team is explaining the business differently. The words may be technically correct, but nothing's really sticking or moving the business forward. As a senior strategist and writer with 15+ years of experience, I lead the work from the first positioning decisions all the way through the website, deck, launch, campaign, sales story, and communications that puts them to use. The strategy stays connected to the execution, so the process is simpler, faster, and nothing gets lost in translation. I’ve spent years helping more than 100 startups, established B2B and consumer companies, Fortune 500 organizations, nonprofits, and public figures explain what they do, why it matters, and why someone should choose them. WHAT I DO: -Positioning, messaging, and strategic narrative -Website and landing-page strategy and copy -GTM messaging, launches, and sales narratives -Brand strategy and visibility/PR -Naming, taglines, verbal identity, and brand voice -Messaging/competitive audits and strategic reviews RECENT WORK: -Website messaging for an enterprise SaaS company that helped double conversions -Brand strategy for a fintech platform expanding across four continents -Messaging and verbal identity for a national innovation nonprofit -GTM strategy for a consumer food brand now sold nationwide -Brand identity work for an NBA All-Star -A Gold ADDY-winning campaign for a renewable-energy company THE PROOF: -$125M+ raised by brands utilizing positioning, messaging, and story work -Gold ADDY-winning campaigns -100+ brands shaped -15+ years industry experience -Work featured in New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, ESPN, AdWeek, and more -Upwork Top-Rated with 100% client success rate -Career spanning from Hollywood to the White House I’m usually the right fit when the business is strong but your story isn’t doing it justice, or when you need to get the words and thinking right before everything else gets built around it. Send me your current website, deck, or brief and tell me what feels hardest to explain. I’ll take a look at where the brand may be getting stuck.

Hi, I’m Adriana! I'm a Washington, DC native now based in Lisbon, with a global client base and a deep love for language that actually moves people. I’ve spent the last several years helping academics, thought leaders, nonprofits, and forward-thinking brands turn complex ideas into writing that’s clear, smart, and impactful. Whether I’m editing a policy memo, ghostwriting a leadership piece, or shaping a grant proposal from the ground up, my goal is always the same: to bring structure, precision, and life to the page. My background includes a Master’s in Sociology of European Societies, a BA in Political Science, and a wide range of work for clients like the World Bank, Lloyd’s of London, and the New Consensus think tank. I’ve also collaborated with scholars, artists, and social innovators from around the world and I thrive in projects that demand both intellectual rigor and a human touch. People come to me when they need writing that’s thoughtful, polished, and grounded in purpose. I’m quick to understand voice and vision, and I’m known for being sharp, responsive, and easy to work with. If you’ve got a project in the works whether editorial, strategic, creative, or all three, I’d love to hear more.
