NOT YOUR AVERAGE SENIOR COPYWRITER

Yes, I'm a writer. I'm a very good writer who's written for a trillion clients in just about every medium. And that's the kind of title people place ads for--"Senior Copywriter" --but it doesn't cover all that I bring to my work. Here's the big picture:

Sr. Copywriter, Idea Generator I come up with strategies, concepts, delivery systems and copy that connect messages to audiences and revenue. I brainstorm like the dickens.

NOT YOUR AVERAGE SENIOR COPYWRITER

Yes, I'm a writer. I'm a very good writer who's written for a trillion clients in just about every medium. And that's the kind of title people place ads for--"Senior Copywriter" --but it doesn't cover all that I bring to my work. Here's the big picture:

Sr. Copywriter, Idea Generator I come up with strategies, concepts, delivery systems and copy that connect messages to audiences and revenue. I brainstorm like the dickens.

Over my head Inventor Fearless, curious autodidact, able to get in way over my head without swallowing water. Armed only with my art school education and 30 years of agressively learning what I need for my work, I came up with HUSH, a medical product that helps protect neonates from a devastating, life- long disability. This product is now in the works.

Accident Prone I accidentally wrote a book (Home for the Holidays & Other Calamities, which accidentally became a feature film. (Home for the Holidays, Paramount Pictures, 1995). It was directed by Jodie Foster and had an award-winning cast. This led to accidentally recording my book on tape (Simon& Schuster) and then contributing copy to a cookbook tie-in, requested by Jodie Foster. I never tried to sell any of this to anyone. It took on a life of its own!

Born Dot-Connector Since convergent thinking sucks, I designed, wrote and am producing a subscription-based program that libraries offer to their communities. ORBIT inspires divergent thinking through a fun and enlightening reading adventure. The program meets and exceeds the current National Library goals.

I Got Game. I collected a group of fellow seasoned artists (writers, a painter, a poet, asculptor, two designers, a cartoonist, and an animator) and launched a fun Art Game designed to coax people away from their comfort zones, into new realms. Great results prompted me to then conduct the games with non-artists, kids and other groups. I am now structuring the game a to be part creative thinking, part art class.

Swashbuckler I take risks when it's appropriate. I took a job with the Rolling Stones Urban Jungle Tour in Europe and logged 26 cities in 5 months as the crew's travel advance person. I wrote entertaining info sheets on each city for the crew, and became their "Road Mom" for the duration.

Creative Cross-Trainer Thirty-some years of observing, studying and practicing, has made me visually fluent and full of passion (not bologna). Drawing, painting in the classical style, experimenting with style and subject. My visual vocabulary informs my writing.

Down to Business So yes, I'm a Senior Writer, but an unusual one. A true creative head wears lots of hats. So I call myself a "Creative Problem Solver Con Gusto."

  Chris is charming, witty, and entirely original. She crafts, even in casual conversation, creative ideas and strings of words which often leave me marveling at how fluid and funny she is. Beyond fondness, I have deep respect for her, and recommend getting to know her both personally and professionally.   [less]
