Content Strategy + Editing + Design
From concept to completion
I’ve been called a “unicorn” and a “hybrid” — a versatile storyteller who can write and edit content as well as design and produce visual presentations at a high level. Armed with these complementary skills, I can see the big picture of a project while keeping an eye on the details. Having worked and thrived for years in fast-paced environments, I’m a pro at time management, able to set and meet deadlines but also pivot when a late-but-great idea requires a change in course. Ultimately, it’s about following through to create something that engages your audience and keeps them looking for more. — Shanna Novak
