My Portfolio | Current and Past Work

Gail Nelson with Mayhem

I’ve been writing professionally for most of my adult life — from accounting procedure manuals for systems I helped implement to a music book for kids and even newspaper articles. But it wasn't until around 10 years ago that I really tried to make a living at it while providing something people wanted: information and inspiration through a homeschool magazine I published from 2015-2020.

Because of those magazine issues, I've learned to incorporate storytelling techniques into my writing—making it far more engaging and informative. I’ve written everything from business blogs to wildlife articles and also provide marketing and graphic design services.

Here, you’ll find some of my most recent work. If you're looking for a specific sample, let me know. If don’t already have it lurking about somewhere, let’s discuss a paid test.

Sucess Magazine has been one of my favorite publications for years. Writing for them was a joy!

I’m a long-time student of whole foods and holistic healing. Foraging is a natural extension of that work. After all, why buy greens when I can find them for free. Plus, they’re even more nutritious than most of the store bought stuff.

 

Logo for Copper Pro, essential oil still makerThis Ukrainian based company manufactures the most beautiful essential oil distillers. I know—I have one! Their product is unmatched, so writing a few educational blogs about the uses of various essential oils was a natural fit!

Topics included:

  • Essential oils for headaches
  • Making essential oils
  • Crafting solid perfumes with essential oils

 

The Florida based practice was working through the long process of updating and rejuvenating a neglected blog. I contributed several updates and fresh blogs to the effort.

Topics included:

  • Exercises to reduce hip pain
  • Common orthopedic surgeries
  • Trigger finger

PowerPoint Presentation Design | Millenials' and Mens' Health

Do you get frustrated just *thinking* about getting your pitch deck or slide show presentation ready? And yeah, we know that you can try it with AI, but it’s never quite the same as when you paid someone who knew what they were doing.

Using custom graphics, an eye for editing, and my slightly OCD need for copy to be amazing, my client and I worked together to achieve his goals. My process is very collaborative and I delight in delighting my clients.

So, impactful designs? Check. Great flow and transitions? Check.

And I can set these up in Powerpoint, Adobe Express, or Canva. Your choice.

Shoot me an email and we can get started.
