Bio

Laura has been a go-to resource for all things e-commerce copy at our agency for years. She and I have worked together for 18 months, and she not only delivers high-level work, but she's great to work with. Laura's skill for research and editing are incredibly valuable to our face-paced, high-visibility work. I am grateful to have Laura on the team, and would definitely recommend her for any copy related work.

Laura created website content for our organization, helping us move from a broad outline of content and reference materials to define our audience, goals, and communication style. She patiently walked us through the process to determine what we needed to communicate to our audience and how to structure that content. After reviewing background materials, Laura was able to synthesize a large amount of often quite technical information into an easy to understand, accurate description of our work. Laura communicated with us clearly and proactively throughout the entire project, delivering on time or even ahead of schedule. She demonstrated flexibility with a changing project scope, and helped us explore a variety of writing styles to ultimately meet our communication goals.
