“Demand Better Solar” became the overarching brand campaign theme for all three verticals (consumer, commercial, utility).
This ad features the “World Record-Setting Solar” ad concept I helped come up with, which emphasizes the documented superiority of SunPower’s technology. The “World Record” ad series supports the overarching brand campaign “Demand Better Solar.”

One of my Master's degrees is in Rhetoric, so I particularly enjoy and excel at messaging. I create complex, highly detailed message and content matrices to guide copywriters, account services, and clients in creating cohesive marketing collateral and tactics that uniformly ladder up to the same positioning statement, focus of communication, and benefits.
Other messaging-related deliverables include brand- and product-level taglines and slogans, advertising concepts and "seed copy."
SunPower's "The Power of One" slogan refers to a unified product line that encompasses rooftop, carport and ground-mounted solar arrays. The meaning of the message extends beyond one set of products, though, to evoke the idea that SunPower is the one solar company that designs, manufactures, distributes, installs and maintains its own equipment worldwide.
Five central "pillars," or key ideas, constitute the framework for this traditional messaging "house" for clinical trial software company ePatientFinder.
This is just a snippet of a large, complex, benefits-based message matrix that ties product features to the reasons to believe and the sources that back up any claims. There are two sheets in this spreadsheet: one for US wording and claims, and the other for global markets.
This was a "living" message matrix, hosted on a shared but secure Google spreadsheet, where contributors could record or see message changes in real time; this suited a fast-paced timeline in which multiple overlapping projects were moving through the publication process in various stages and more than one creative team was involved.
The Head & Neck Cancer Guide is a comprehensive resource to help patients and their loved ones understand and prepare for every step of the cancer journey.
I was the content director on this entire site. I contributed to content strategy, guided information architecture, was lead copywriter, managed the editorial workflow, hired/trained/managed freelancers, revised and edited every page, fact-checked, communicated with the client, and trained the client team to take over the CMS on hand-off.
The site — really three sites, including content meant for adult patients and caregivers, teens, and young children — contains over 557,000 words of copy.

I have written thousands of pages of copy for a variety of brands, industries, and issues over the years. Recent work includes a series of bylined articles for Dun & Bradstreet; ghostblogging for B2B brands such as Phunware, SunPower and Topdown; articles, web copy, white papers, case studies and other content for InMotion Software, Arrow, Forcepoint, Bloomfire, and Austin MD Magazine.
My superpower is being able to grok new industries exceptionally quickly and well.

Other areas in which I have expertise include renewable energy and medical devices & pharmaceuticals.
