About Me
I utilize the power of story to touch, move, and inspire my audience...
Creating Content That Resonates and Delivers Results
Story is a powerful force in the human experience. It is how we learn, relate to each other, pass down history, and entertain. Being a storyteller is in my DNA and it is what guides me when writing and solving problems and addressing needs for clients.
From my time as a travel and food writer, when I used words so readers could feel themselves in exotic locales in SE Asia or smell the food in a review, to working on a satirical blog to bemuse an audience, to writing my own stand-up comedy routines to elicit laughter from a crowd, I utilized the power of story to touch, move, and inspire my audience to take a journey with me and arrive someplace enchanted and different from where they began.
For you, this means that you’re getting a linguistic alchemist that takes your ideas and transforms them into something that your audience can ingest and take action, following the path laid out before them.

During my tenure as Manager of the UX Department for Paymentus, Julian was a key hire and contributor. He brought along with him a senior level of autonomy, was able to quickly digest and understand the product and hit the ground producing great work. Chris, the UX Design Lead below, gives a great summary of Julian’s overall time with Paymentus and I echo each of those points.
