IDEAS PERSON

Fresh out of school, I jumped into the world of graphic design.

Some clients...

I even did some “print management.” That’s when we read things on “paper.”

(I know, right? CRAZY!)

I’m great with all of these....

writing

Every week I would chart the rise and fall of significant trends in an irreverent way.

Things like...cigars, Concorde, Helvetica and a few others...

My first assignment was The Curve—a “charticle.”

writing

...and I told the story

of adopting a boy from

Ethiopia in the pages of

Chatelaine.

Office Space: in

which, each week, I pro-

file industry hotshots about

their

work environments...

Later I had a column in the National Post.

writing

I specialize in writing development pitches for television production companies.

The integration of writing

and design proved the key

to successful pitches.

Combining layout and writing skills, I started my own business.

copywriting

I’ve created many pitch documents. These three were all green-lit by the network...

My clients were very happy!

I engaged social media to help boost network ratings.

Crafting their online strategies, I helped producers bridge the gap

between old and new media.

Coordinated Facebook and Twitter presence...

Found & pitched story ideas...

Edited & packaged segments using radio editing software...

Wrote intros & questions for hosts...

When you work in radio, you learn so much. Added bonus: it makes you a riveting conversation companion at cocktail parties.

Fascinating!

Right?

Reality TV needed writers and I was there. (Yes they, actually have writers!)

COTTAGE CHEESE (13x30 factual series)You know all that kitschy stuff you find in old cottages & coun-

try homes? That’s what this show was all about.

MY RETREAT (13x30 factual series)Each episode features virtual tours of some of the country’s

most amazing vacation homes.

BATTLE OF THE BLADESI wrote the things that hosts Ron McLean

and Kurt Browning said on air.

DAILY PLANETI was head writer on Discovery Channel’s

daily news program.

And the winner is...

As well as writing the film treatment, I worked with the

production team to find fascinating people to tell their

stories about mental health struggles.
