We schedule a free discovery call to see if we’re a good fit (and possibly chat about your upcoming projects)… We’ll get on a kick-off call where we thoroughly discuss our first project. I’ll create and send you a proposal with an overview of the project, timelines, and pricing options. You review the proposal to ensure you’re happy with everything. Upon your approval of the proposal, I’ll send over an agreement for you to review and sign. Once it’s signed, our work can get started! (Please note: I work and submit copy docs entirely via Google suite.) I’ll create a Google Drive Folder with all of our project docs, proposals, contracts, etc. Working with you, we’ll create a solid deliverable timeline (draft 1, client review, make revisions, draft 2, etc.) I submit drafts to you via Google Docs. You leave your feedback in the doc (please be LIBERAL and don’t hold back–your expertise and honesty are integral to success.) We collaborate until you’re THRILLED with the work!

I am a copywriter and content writer; however, I have 15 years of professional graphic design experience. This means I can easily collaborate and communicate with your design team–as well as how to develop copy that most effectively complements visual communication. I’ve also worked for several years in UX copywriting, so I understand how to use copywriting to enhance the user experience and customer journey.

I’ve worked with high-level SaaS brands for nearly 10 years. However, what I love most about writing is the variety, so I’ve also worked with brands spanning everything from construction and non-profit to BDSM and parking law. After all, the fundamentals of effective copywriting apply to any industry.

The short answer: No, not frequently. Only during initial brainstorming, but I find double-checking or correcting accuracy inhibit my efficiency (which is my goal for incorporating AI at all). HOWEVER… It is a tool. It’s not going away, and I am teaching myself to harness it in an effective and (more importantly) ETHICAL way. Hopefully, one that makes workflows easier for you and me.

Generative AI is a tool and one that’s been around for a while. I think it can do a lot of good for society and craftsmen as a whole. However, that’s only when it’s used ethically and strategically. It will never replace human creativity, connection, and “magic” if you will. Anyone who tries to use it to do so (because they think it’ll save them a few bucks) is only inhibiting the growth of their business. As a professional marketer and copywriter, I can see several ways it can improve my workflow. As a visual artist, I think it’s nefarious and is never used ethically because it’s based entirely on pulling from art that real people have poured years of their blood, sweat, and tears into– and built communities around (hence their relevance in the algorithms the AI is “learning” from). It can’t create from nothing. Even real human artists rarely create something from nothing (hence the old phrase: “Great artists steal”). The difference is: human artists take inspiration and transform it. Help it evolve. Humans will use AI to create new and incredible works of art. But that’s as long as artists use it to create, not as a replacement for human creativity. In summary: I think AI is a valuable tool, an incredible opportunity, and very exciting (not as cool as flying cars, but I guess we STILL are waiting on those for a while). But it should never be used to replace the creative professional–or the creativity in YOU! We CREATED AI thanks to that same “human magic” that helped us harness fire and design flushable toilets, for crying out loud! I embrace AI when used ethically and as a resource, not as a replacement. I am finding ways to incorporate it into my workflow effectively. If you have an AI tool you like to incorporate into your content generation, I am happy to work with it. Sorry for the rant, but hopefully, I’ve answered your question.
