PORTFOLIO

lsouthern524@gmail.com

As a writer, editor and creative strategist, my passion lies in helping brands curate their own unique voice, expand their vision, and deliver unexpected and engaging new narratives. With over ten years of experience in creative direction and editorial management, my expertise lies in communicating key mission pillars and differentiators through powerful storytelling and refined visuals across digital, print and in-person experiences alike. Equal parts scrappy and perfectionist, having had the privilege of working with small startups and large organizations alike, my priority is to bring unique concepts to life and to build communities around them, all while maintaining the integrity of the brand’s vision.
