Words

That Intrigue

and Bring Joy.

Words That

Work.

Hello! I’m Wendy.

Do you hope to grow your arts organization and inspire new donors to build on a legacy? Storytelling in fundraising is where I shine. Do you struggle to find the words to describe your organization's identity and mission? I would love to help you refresh messaging while building on all of the great work you have accomplished. Are you overwhelmed by social media? Allow me to guide you, step by step! Together we will develop a strategy that connects ideas and stories across many channels and platforms. Are you caught up in a fast-paced cycle of events and projects? Let’s develop a big-picture plan that aligns with your own goals and dream audiences. Along the way, I will guide you to articulate such concepts as “vision,” “mission,” and “identity” with words that intrigue, words that work. Let’s declare a buzzword-free zone!

I can help solve your problems creatively
because I am an artist at heart.

Strategic Planning

Who are you? Where are you going? Why are you headed in that direction?
Who is your audience? What is your goal? Every person on your team wants to know where they fit into your big picture. I can help you plan your bright future—and have fun along the way!

Connecting

How do we engage with audiences? Take time to get to know them. Build a relationship. Tell their story.
Be authentic. Feel good about it!

Storytelling in fundraising
is where I shine.

Do you hope to inspire new donors to build on a legacy? I can help you capture stories of visionary philanthropists through beautiful photo portraits and heartfelt testimonials. My journalism background makes for crisp, lively writing about your most inspiring, compassionate givers —whether it’s a Q&A with a top donor, illustrated keepsake card at the black tie dinner, Instagram reel, compelling narrative that sells gala tickets, magazine feature or one-minute video.

Planning is important, and I also keep my eyes open for unexpected moments. Let’s leave room for serendipity and learn something new along the way. Stories are everywhere!

Let’s work together!
Get in touch.
