An artist to the bone, with a highly professional disposition. Well-rounded in education, talents, skills, and life experience. Well-informed locally, globally and cross-culturally. Certifiably neurodivergent and highly communicative. Trained in receiving criticism and adapting content accordingly. A mind equally logical, creative, philosophical, driven. Whether via collaboration or a solo venture, the fruits of my writing, editing, musicianship and other artistry tend to have a certain attention-catching-something about them that's worth your consideration, and will likely be worth a second look from your audience. I achieve this partly by striving to strike balances: functional vs. aesthetical; unbridled vs. conventional; approachable vs. impressive. And finally, I savor a good deadline–as an source of intellectual, creative and productive fuel and as a coming celebration of standout results. For my clients, these traits add up to on-schedule deliverables which incorporate all stated specs and intentions while outdoing expectations. My services fall into two broad categories: music and literature. Browse the specialized profile that matches what you're seeking, and send a message or offer. It's always possible I have missed an ideal opportunity among this platform's listings. So, if you suspect I have something to contribute to your project, I value the opportunity to hear about it, and to introduce myself personally over your choice of platform. Need multiple services which require parallel treatment of sound and text? I am more than adept at melding the two. Editing for time, soundtracking, minding the narrative (i.e., for podcasts, radio plays), voiceover (for any use), and adding custom perfectly-timed subtitles to videos are only a few applications of my cross-disciplinary abilities.
