Content Strategy & Editorial Clients

Who they are: ōkta is a seasonally-focused restaurant in McMinnville, Oregon.  ōkta is supported by ōkta farm + lab, a regenerative local farm and larder celebrating the bounty of the Pacific Northwest through its micro-seasons.  

How we work together:  I have copy-edited and proofread the ōkta newsletter, social media posts, and menus.  I created and edited their menu of non-alcoholic wines and cocktails.  I ghost-wrote their menu card, featuring a seasonal introduction to the dishes by the chef.  

What we have accomplished:  Together we have created a cohesive voice for the project, created time-saving templates for drafting media, and increased bookings.

Who they are: AMO Bladesmithing is an artisanal, heritage-quality maker of hand-forged knives for culinary use, located in Portland, Oregon.

How we work together:  Ben Butcher approached me to help create a short statement introducing the brand and linking to care instructions, while capturing his voice as an artist.  

What we accomplished:  We determined the most streamlined approach was to have his artist's statement and a QR-code linked to care printed inside the lid of each knife's presentation box, to elevate user experience.

Who they are:  FeederPDX is a Portland-based food media website and database of local restaurants.

How we work together:  I created the database and kept it updated during the pandemic.  I researched and wrote blog posts.

What we accomplished:  We connected thousands of local diners to restaurants, and improved site-traffic and engagement with blog posts and articles.  FeederPDX.com has been featured on the Travel Mouth Podcast and the Right at the Fork Podcast.  

Who they are:  Jon Bernie is a modern spiritual teacher and former Zen monk, who offers a compassionate heart-centered approach to spiritual awakening through online satsang, various writings, a monthly newsletter, and other gatherings.

How we work together: Using transcripts from Jon's talks, I created a monthly article which was included in his newsletter and posted to the "Written Teachings" section of his website. 

What we accomplished: The short articles created extra value for the newsletter, resulting in increased reads and longer engagement.
