THE MORE FORMAL...
Up until June 1, 2011, I worked as a Creative Director and Copywriter for Graphtek Interactive in Palm Desert, CA. This role required me to leverage over fifteen years of experience working in the content development, interactive production and marketing industries.
During my fifteen year career, I've written copy both inside and outside of the agency environments. From digital and print marketing communications – to website content – to ghost writing/editing articles – to writing scripts for online virtual worlds, my copy reflects the importance of balancing my client’s goals with delivering content that resonates with their target audiences’ interests and needs. My ultimate goal with each new content development project – write copy that makes a real connection while maintaining brand integrity and voice.
In addition to writing scripts and managing the localization process of online virtual world and games for children, I've been fortunate enough to have produced a number of these sites – overseeing the hiring and workflow management of programmers, art directors, writers, translators and voiceover talent. Outside of the virtual world and gaming industries, I've produced websites and online marketing advertising for leaders in the software, financial, insurance, online gaming, healthcare, retail, entertainment and executive coaching industries.
My portfolio of clients includes: eBay, PayPal, AskJeeves, AJ Interactive, Grey Advertising, San Francisco (G2 Direct & Digital), Adobe Systems Inc., Covansys Technology Services, Mattel Inc., Hallmark, Innovative Financial Solutions, The Trader’s Oasis, The Illustrated Man, AAM Recordings, Health Information Partners, Faraway Friends, Partylab, and Graphtek Interactive
I graduated from New York University with a B.A. in philosophy, lived in Spain for a number of years working as an English tutor, then worked as a commercial airline pilot in southern Florida and San Juan, PR.
