      <image:title>Portfolio - Labster ebook</image:title>
      <image:caption>For Labster, I turned a 42-page research deck into The Confidence Effect by reading and interpreting the findings, building an outline, writing copy, collaborating on design, and revising to produce a polished ebook. I also created the LinkedIn launch campaign, including announcement posts, social copy, and an accompanying infographic, translating research into a clear, cohesive, multi-format story.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Portfolio - Labster Video</image:title>
      <image:caption>This 60-second video distills Labster's entire brand vision, from messaging to naming. I developed the script as lead copywriter, working closely with the Labster, Theo Darling, and Bowen teams through executive interviews and storyboarding. Theo Darling produced the video directly from my script for Labster.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Portfolio - Soul Society Yoga: Class Concept, Research, Copy &amp; Campaign</image:title>
      <image:caption>When members requested a strength class that didn't fit our yoga brand, I used survey and attendance data to shape a new class called Grounded Strength. I lead concept, naming, and copy, then tested it through summer pop-ups and campaigns. It launches in the fall four times a week after outperforming our regular classes.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>When COVID-19 forced schools to close in March 2020, educators around the country needed a remote learning solution—fast. Blackboard quickly pivoted to provide this solution, called Blackboard Unite. My client contacted me on April 6 to write a landing page and copy bank. By April 13, they launched the site.</image:caption>
