Good copywriting is everywhere. I practice in each prototype, on every page of this portfolio.

​

Here are three projects that were successful precisely because of their copy.

The power of clear words when designing effective confidence indicators

​

For our now published paper, I managed the language we used to create the testing environment.

​

My team and I researched how user trust is affected when qualitative indicators of algorithmic confidence are placed next to AI-written profile bios.

 

Intentionally, our users had little prior knowledge on what it means for AI to write text and predict confidence in outputs.

​

Clear words bridged the gap. After iterating exactly how these qualitative confidence indicators would be written, I created an example-based description that 54 participants found clearly usable.

​

Crucial to the effectiveness of the UX copy was how clearly we briefed users on the context and tasks to expect.

​

By writing simple instructions without extraneous information, I helped our participants complete our unique form of trust-ranking survey.

The pillow that college roommates buy each other. 

PillowTalk is an alarm pillow only the sleeper can hear.

​

I brainstormed the concept because, if you can believe it, my roommate and I set off 7+ alarms each morning.

 

We want to hear our favorite tunes, but feel bad temporarily waking each other up.

Marketing:

To practice selling a product and its technical features, I created a PillowTalk brand that is  (1) relatable and (2) informative.

​

These two qualities impress busy, tired college students.

 

And impressed they were.

 

When I asked for marketing feedback and likelihood to buy, over 30 college students enjoyed the hilarious writing tone and were ready to buy: "Yes I need that," "Love it. Sign me up for one."

Why I love copy.

I was the Senior Culture Editor at an online magazine with 650k monthly views.

 

All day every day, I created with words. Weaved interesting stories, launched campaigns. Shared my vision.

Writing thumb-stopping headlines.

Taming the whitespace lion.

And creating content that begs to be read.

If you want to see some of those words I wrote, I have just the surprise for you.
