Objective
I am an aspiring copywriter and designer based in New York City. My strongest skills are within copywriting. I focus heavily on conveying the desired message of the brand towards the target audience. Conveying a brand’s desired message towards a target audience is a primary focus of mine in my work. I investigate beyond existing audiences which increases the number of potential customers for that brand. I can also assist in terms of brand identity and copywriting. Any product can be elevated by finding an extended audience past the existing one. This increases a brand’s versatility in order to capture unfamiliar demographics on a wider scale.
