freestyle competition at the Olympics.
Seriously – you truly have to make one breath last in this competition. Practicing

I am coming up on a year of working in LA startups as an all around copywriter. Whether it’s a social media post, an email campaign, or an internal announcement, I’m writing…but not what I want to write about. I took a cue from the actors around me who work other jobs until they get […]
