ABOUT

What began as a small idea to slow down and curate a more flexible career has grown into a mission to help creatives show up & tell the story of their soul-giving business – free from the nervous energy of how the words will be perceived or waiting for things to feel more “complete” (read: perfect for the public).

Growing up, expressing creativity was celebrated – whether in the form of making music (the piano, in my case), the written word, cooking, or photography. 

For me, writing has always been my preferred outlet. So going from journalism school graduate to account coordinator (/stand-in copywriter & editor) at a KC ad agency obviously came as no surprise to those closest to me.

Here’s where things get slightly spicy (like my beloved jalapeño marg). 

In 2016, my husband got deployment orders. And that’s when my “best laid” plans started unraveling. I could no longer dodge the unpredictable nature of being a military spouse. Moving every 2-3 years and enduring extended time apart doesn’t really mesh with a long-term career doing what you love. 
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
I needed to pave my own path forward – one that would allow me to reclaim ownership over my journey. That’s when I made the conscious decision to put the corporate world behind me and open Woven Copy Studio.

Being invited to serve as the copywriter of creatives’ stories on a day-to-day basis? Wow wow wow. It’s a real privilege.​​​​​​​​

When I’m not busy typing away in the studio, there’s a good chance you’ll find me trying to keep up with our toddler son’s energy (send an iced vanilla latte w/ coconut milk or aforementioned spicy marg, plz), crossing my fingers that my husband’s green thumb keeps my house plants alive, and catching up on the latest Bravo TV episode.

For more in-the-moment, behind-the-screens happenings, I invite you to join my close-knit community on Instagram.
