It’s fun to work with new people and learn about what they do.

It’s fun to hear how they answer the key questions:

Who is your audience?

What are you REALLY in the business of?

What are the benefits vs. features?

(I’d like to hear how you answer those questions…)

I’m an on-call marketing consultant with the Basin Business Advisors program and have developed marketing plans for several small businesses in the East and West Kootenays of British Columbia, Canada.

My 10,000+ hours of paid communications work include:

Professional writer (since 1999,) designer (since 2004,) and copywriter (since 2007)

Editor, East Kootenay Weekly newspaper, Hollinger (Glacier) (2000 – 2001)

Designer / Copywriter, Koocanusa Publications (2004 – 2008)

I’m an idea enthusiast, a sustainability advocate and a serious supporter of the emerging culture of resilience.
