Hello! I'm Arica—like Erica, but with an A. I have a passion for graphic design and love bringing clients' visions to life. While I've dabbled in video and photography, my true freelance expertise lies in graphic design, where I focus on the details that make your project uniquely yours. I'm a collaborative designer who values your input, ensuring the final product reflects your personality and preferences. If something doesn't feel right, I'll adjust it; if you want to explore a new direction, I'm all in. My goal is to create work that meets and exceeds your expectations. Outside of design, I work full-time as an event manager for USA TODAY NETWORK, specializing in event operations for large-scale consumer expos with b2b vendor relationships. I hold a BA in Business & Organizational Communication with a focus in Public Relations. My background includes five years of marketing, design and event planning experience in the nonprofit sector and four years in the corporate world. EVENT PLANNING I specialize in both virtual and on-site event planning, ensuring seamless execution behind the scenes. From coordinating large-scale expos to managing intimate celebrations, I’ve handled budgets exceeding $1 million, streamlined logistics, and developed systems to keep everything running smoothly. My expertise extends to special permits, vendor relations, and onsite ticketing, allowing me to tackle challenges with ease. Whether it’s creating memorable experiences or solving real-time problems, I bring passion, creativity, and efficiency to every event I coordinate. WRITING/DESIGN My expertise includes creating brochures, business cards, digital media, event invitations, flyers, postcards, print layout design, self-mailers, newsletters, and more. I am proficient in Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Lightroom, and Canva Pro. While I have intermediate knowledge of Adobe Photoshop, I primarily build my designs in Illustrator and InDesign. I also have experience in copywriting and editing content for marketing materials, social media, newsletters, and resumes. I'm currently open to taking on new projects, especially those that include ongoing work. Let's create something amazing together!

Hello, I’m Chisom, a versatile writer and researcher with over four years of experience crafting high-impact content for brands, publications, and individual clients. I’ve worked with notable names like Interesting Engineering, Cut + Dry, and Finixio, delivering everything from SEO-optimized articles and blog posts to deeply engaging fiction and thought-leadership pieces. My writing spans a wide range: Non-fiction: finance, self-help, business writing, healthcare, law, real estate, cryptocurrency, blockchain, tech, sustainability, compliance, HR, and legal content. Fiction: romance (sweet, spicy, contemporary, billionaire, college, enemies-to-lovers), fantasy (epic, dark, romantasy), mafia, dark romance, and suspense-driven stories. Whether I’m simplifying complex tech trends, writing motivational self-help guides, building business thought leadership, or weaving emotionally charged romance and high-stakes fantasy worlds, I’m passionate about creating content that captivates, connects, and converts. What I Can Do for You: • SEO-Optimized Blog Posts & Articles: Keyword-rich, engaging content that ranks and resonates with your audience. • In-Depth Non-Fiction: Research-driven pieces in business, self-help, finance, tech, legal, and more — written to position you as an authority. • Fiction Writing: Full-length novels, novellas, short stories, or serialized romance/fantasy/mafia content tailored to your vision (sweet, steamy, dark, or epic). • Thought Leadership & Website Copy: Clear, compelling copy that builds trust and drives action. • Ghostwriting: Over three hundred pieces ghostwritten across industries and genres with zero attribution issues. Why Work with Me? 1. I blend strong storytelling with SEO and research expertise — whether it’s a business guide, self-help book, or a swoon-worthy romance. 2. I’m comfortable in both factual, high-stakes non-fiction and emotionally rich fiction worlds. 3. I’m tech-savvy and love diving deep into new trends, tools, products, and genres. 4. I deliver polished, reader-first content on time — every time. If you’re looking for a writer who can elevate your brand with powerful non-fiction, captivate readers with gripping romance/fantasy/mafia stories, or do both — I’d love to bring your vision to life.
