Every small business deserves help with their website copy.
I’m here to help, because I’m just like you.
I love writing headlines… and I love walking my kids to school in the morning.
I love seeing Stripe notifications pop up… but I also have sports snacks to coordinate.
I love having a business that allows me to make my own schedule.
And you deserve help building a freedom-expanding business, too.
Website copy that feels like you
Without six months of dread, guessing, and staring at blank screens.
Instead of trying to convince you to spend thousands of dollars on website copy, I created streamlined services that meet you where you are.
Let’s keep the process easy and fun, too. Because life’s too short to make it a freaking grind.
"Hey, Kelley! How did you get into copywriting, anyway?"
I peaced out from my day job in 2014, when my oldest was six months old. I was always writing on the side, but that’s when I really started in earnest—from fact-checking the music listings for the local alt weekly to writing “best cookies in town” listicles.
Unfortunately, cookie lists don’t pay the bills.
So I dipped a toe into website copy. And soon found out how much there was to know.
Eager to soak up some experience and know-how, I completed conversion copywriting training from Copyhackers and UX copywriting with Susan Reoch.
Now I’m 100% laser-focused on how website copy works. (When I’m not thinking about cookies.) I love helping small business owners get better results and feel more confident about sharing the online portion of their work.
My mission is to help you build a business that fits your life.

Website copy doesn't have to be a drag
If I had a manifesto, it would go something like this.
AI is a pox. A sometimes-helpful pox, but to be avoided as much as possible.
Success in business has to support your health and nervous system. I’ve been in a place where my body was screaming at me for help. Do not wish do go back. I don’t want that for you, either.
Copywriting isn’t that serious. You can have fun. You can experiment. You can make small changes and see what happens.
Everyone deserves help with website copy. I know I said that before. But I offer some sliding scale services, affordable workshops, and free mini audits because I really mean it.
I mean everyone. This is a big boat here with weirdos, loud people, quiet people, people who lose money on their business but don’t want anyone to know, cool people, slightly dorky people, people who never ever had the right socks growing up. My business donates to trans health and homeless support causes.
On a more personal note
I live in Portland, Oregon—born and raised!—with my husband Brian and our two kickass kiddos.
My happy places: Yelling at a Portland W/NBA game or sitting by a body of water with a seasonal treat.
Volunteer work: Columbia Slough Watershed Council Paddle Team, Adopt One Block, and they know me by name in the school office.
Is there something you’re still wondering or worried about?
Drop a line! I love hearing from you.
