A Taste
A portfolio? Yes. Okay. If you insist. The bane of the creative's existence. Look at me! Look what I can do! But only if you like it.
Below you'll find a sampling of work that represents my 20+ years as a copywriter/editor/director and idea generator.

Beyond Barriers
Branding/Nomenclature - Copy - PR - Social - Video
Previously "Prairie Independent Living Resources Center," this longtime organization needed a rebrand to remain relevant and pursue progress.
Disabilities aren’t “one size fits all.” Whether it’s how you were born, something that happened later in life, or even one that’s invisible to everyone but you—we serve people with ALL disabilities, free of charge.
At Beyond Barriers, we help you live as independently as possible through training, education, advocacy and support. Break through the red tape of disability resources and accessibility challenges.
Placer Community Foundation ProsperUS Concept
Nomenclature/Branding - Copy
In a world of “them vs. us,” we’re making a bold claim: WE’RE ALL US
All citizens of Placer County deserve a life of health, safety, possibility, and dignity. 𝐓𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐫.
Here in Placer County, we aspire to be a magnetic place with opportunity, prosperity, and a fulfilling life for all. But accomplishing this vision is a tall order. It takes visibility, relationships, knowledge, and tools to truly have impact—that’s where we come in.
Placer Community Foundation unites people, ideas, and resources to address community challenges and create opportunities. We do this through gathering knowledge, convening stakeholders, addressing systemic needs, inspiring giving, and marshaling diverse resources for the greatest impact. We know that progress requires meaningful partnerships, and we foster those relationships at every turn.
