I'm your kinda website copywriter if:
Messages with heart & soul are what I'm all about.
I started this business in the spirit of serving others. It’s why I love hosting game nights and dinner parties. And it’s why I created a process that helps you feel taken care of every step of the way. And while I can say I care all I want, I prefer to show it through the quality of the work you receive, dedication to my craft, and a surprise or two along the way.
You’ve entrusted me to do a job, and that’s not something I take lightly. That’s why you can expect me to be honest in my opinions as I'm always in pursuit of the best possible outcome for your business.
But I want your candor, too. If you feel strongly for or against an idea, tell me. If something isn’t up to your expectations, I need to know.
At the end of the day, I'm here to serve you and your business.
Life’s too short for business to be boring. And don’t let Peggy Olson’s stress levels fool you—copywriting is supposed to be fun.
So bring your creative ideas and I'll bring mine too. Because I'm serious about your success, but I'll be damned if I take myself too seriously.

I’ve always loved words. Handwritten notes and fiction books make me swoon. But as an introvert, people always thought I was a woman of few words.
If you flip through my morning journal or documents of half-written blog posts, you’ll find I actually do have a lot to say. I just prefer to write it all down.
When I started my business, it was an on-the-side thing. But when the time came to go all-in, overthinking crept in.
I couldn’t seem to write a single sentence on the page without slamming tapping the backspace key one-hundred times over.
Before long, the frustration of not knowing what to say caused me to doubt the dream that had been planted in my heart.
It wasn’t until I quieted the noise in my head, quit comparison, and asked myself a slew of questions that I remembered why I wanted to do this in the first place.

I needed someone who could help me convey my services succinctly to potential clients and create message to accompany the launch of my new brand and website. Shannon worked side-by-side with my graphic designer and website developer to create something I'm really proud of and that my clients love.
She captured my business perfectly, went out of her way to prioritize my project, and made it fun. I really enjoyed working with Shannon and look forward to our next project.
