15+ years of loving all this mess.

I'm a senior copywriter based in Portland, Oregon.

I take complex, jargon-infested content and translate it into clear messaging that people get.

I wrote for newspapers and magazines for seven years before joining the corporate world in 2009, taking my research, interviewing and storytelling skills with me. 

I cut my teeth at two agencies (Verizon), followed by in-house roles at large enterprises (Dell, NTT DATA), non-profits (Toastmasters International) and a handful of startups. Mostly tech, healthcare and consumer brands. I'll learn your industry if it's not on that list.

Open to work in all time zones. Willing to relocate for the right fit.

"Cynthia is AMAZING! True to her craft, she is diligent about details. She is hard working, willing to go the extra mile and is a smart writer. We love working with her because she captures what the eye sees and the feeling behind the story and translates it into the written word."

- Allison Olmstead, Public Relations Expert, TO Media Co

"A clean, flawless writer who understands that effective communication requires thorough research and key details to deliver the message. While working as one of my reporters providing features content for SqueezeOC and the Orange County Register, Cynthia would always hunt up the most interesting stories and tell them beautifully."

Iris Yokoi, Editor, The Orange County Register

“I hired Cynthia for contract SEO content development for our consumer-branded site. Her combination of excellent writing skills coupled with a knowledge of SEO was the perfect fit for our need... I would recommend her for anyone looking for quality writing on a variety of subjects."
