Senior copywriter and creative director crafting AI storytelling, product narratives, and editorial systems for scalable growth.
What I'm looking for
I’m a copywriter, content strategist, and creative director with 15+ years shaping AI storytelling, product narratives, and editorial systems across SaaS, AI, education, med and travel tech, health and wellness, and creative sectors. I translate complex technical, operational, and regulated language into clear, human storytelling that aligns product, marketing, and go-to-market teams.
Most recently, as a SENIOR COPYWRITER at Aleph Alpha, I built the company’s first scalable global brand voice and style system, repositioned key content channels, and led messaging for major industry events—turning thought leadership into an integrated, governed narrative system. Earlier, as founder of Funesse, I led a global creative collective delivering repeatable brand and content frameworks (tone-of-voice systems, multi-channel campaign structures) and managed distributed teams to scale consistent quality across web, product, social, email, and lifecycle.
