After an unfortunate, unflattering holiday gift of high-waisted, Ed Grimley-esque pants with suspenders and a white turtleneck sweater, I resolved to only give the gift of charity to friends and family instead of potentially unwanted presents. This required a nice and/or amusing card to notify the recipients of the charity chosen. On the market, all I found were saccharine, cheesy cards dripping with sentiment in undesirable fonts, so I started making my own. And my greeting card company, Gobsmack'd Greetings, was born. I write the copy, design the cards, write press releases, social media posts, and customer correspondence. I also take on freelance writing projects covering everything from birth announcements to dating profiles to website copy to cover letters. I also worked as the Content Consigliere and occasional hostess for Speechless, a local entertainment, and corporate training group through 2017.
