COPYWRITING SERVICES: → Landing Pages & Website Copy → SEO Optimization → Direct-Response Copy & Ad Copy → Product Descriptions → Articles & Blogs Web Development ✅ Web Design: Simple and effective is my approach. I like to lay out all the relevant information your user wants and needs to see. UI / UX: Going with the [user] flow is the way to go. I’ll carefully map out your website to ensure your visitors can easily navigate it and find what they’re looking for. SEO: With a background in copywriting, I understand how to implement SEO into your webpage so that the browser can see your website. Accessibility: I believe all users should be able to use the internet with ease, so it’s my goal to ensure your website adheres to WCAG. LAST STOP🛩️ I understand that every business has a voice, an image, and a set of values. And trusting someone to create the website / copy to express them is risky. To put you at ease, I will: → Do thorough research on your business and target market → Provide constant communication → Deliver work that’s outstanding and represents you and your business Feel free to send me a message or invite me to a job if you’re interested in working together. I’m always happy to help! (:

    Greetings from Honolulu, Hawaii, where I am sitting on my Zabuton attempting to capture myself in 5000 characters, well actually 4868 now. I suppose it begins with words, entities I have been fascinated with since I wrote a poem about a blue butterfly wandering from leaf to leaf like a child who couldn't decide which ice cream flavor they wanted. I followed this love of language through years of education, and landed on a major in English with a Focus in Creative Writing and am Emphasis in Poetry. I am tickled pink whenever I have the chance to put pen to the page or a finger to the keys. I look forward to any and all "work" that is ahead!
