Writing
AI can’t write like I can. Neither can most humans.
Anyone can write. But there’s a process to creating something that actually gets read.

Some of my most loved content ❤️
There’s not enough room for everything I’ve created over the last 14 years, and even if there was, there’s no way I’d remember everything.
The content below only showcases SOME of my marquee content and blog posts, none of my social media posts/ads or LinkedIn ghostwriting.
NOTE:
Before you dive in, I’d just like to stress that I’ve created content and managed blogs (as well as social media accounts) for all types of different companies, across a wide array of industries.
I didn’t showcase a decent amount of my work due to NDAs, but I do have B2B experience too, helping companies, like Cisco, Campaign Monitor, Hive, DataGrail, Forage, Aware, Pagely, HubSpot and many others not listed here.
And I’ve also done a lot of ghostwriting for prominent CEOs, VCs, operators and founders, which I can’t share due to NDAs. I’ve also written about relationships/dating, but felt like most people viewing my portfolio wouldn’t be into that type of content.
