🚨 News Flash: Just because your industry is highly technical doesn’t mean your content has to be boring! 🚨 ​ “Larissa has an uncanny ability to make technical data into something compelling - and when necessary; fun! - to read about. Her insight and creativity provided sales tools that our customers would clamor for, always helping me and my team reach (and exceed) our sales goals.” - Senior Sales Manager, leading aerodynamics company 💤 Is your content magnetic and easy to read or does it fizzle out like a homework assignment? 🤔 Feeling stumped day after day, struggling to explain your expertise to others? 😴 Are you tired of putting in all that work just to convince customers to choose your competition? ​ No more blank, empty stares when explaining your subject matter. It's time to reveal your genius to the public! So if your readers are falling asleep at the keyboard vs. pumping a fist in the air with a roaring "I NEED that!"—we need to work together! From smart homes to space exploration, semiconductors to supercomputing, I work with tech and engineering companies ready to turn sleepy, skippable content into something super-scrumptious and ultra-memorable. So let's turn your knowledge into brain-tingly, mind-blowing, obsessively readable content that can turn "huh?" into "WOW!" Don’t give me an easy one! My superpower is insatiable curiosity. On long walks I wonder why trunks, barrels, and cables bunch together on some power poles and not others, how nuclear fission works, why birds named Veeries can better predict hurricanes than computers and expert meteorologists, and how I can perfect my homemade Enigma machine. Here's some awesome industries I've had the opportunity to partner with: ​ 💡 Robotics 💡 Space Exploration 💡 IoT Internet of Things 💡 Process Automation 💡 Electronics 💡 RF/Microwave Instrumentation 💡Thermal management 💡 Satellite and RFID Tracking Technologies 💡 Cloud Computing No more blank, empty stares when explaining your business—let's turn your 🤔 tech topic into a 🤩! *And we will have fun, too!* Don't take my word for it: 🌟 "Larissa is a gift to our team. Her zest for living, contagious smile, and willingness to try new things helps us be more successful every day. She is a fast learner, fearless and creative, and never misses an opportunity to go above and beyond to make a project a resounding success. She adds value at all times, and I highly recommend her services—and her bubbly personality." —Donna J. ✍️ "Larissa has the ability to take complex ideas and communicate them in an easy-to-understand and engaging manner. She is an extremely talented writer!" —Kelly C. 🤖 "Larissa can take highly technical information and spin it and digest it and put it in layman's speak so anybody can understand it. We enjoy working with her so much!" —Michele S. 🤝🏽 "Larissa was diligent, not in the traditional way that a freelancer operates, but in the way that a professional operates. Her copy quality is approachable, light, yet excels at retaining the desired theme. I can't speak highly enough of her teamwork skills. The smooth process, collaboration, and quality content is a business owner’s dream!” —Dominic G.
