Writing & Design

For the moments and milestones that shape your life.

Life doesn't wait for the perfect words to show up.

The wedding is next month. The memorial is this week. The application is due. The job posting closes Friday.

I write and design for the moments when you need words that honor what's happening—whether that's celebrating love, remembering someone beautifully, getting into school, or landing the job that changes everything.

Life Celebrations

Wedding Programs – $600
Your love story deserves more than a template. I design wedding programs that feel like you—a reflection of the journey that brought everyone into that room.

Funeral Programs – $75/page
Grief is sacred. I write and design tributes that honor a life fully—not just dates, but the texture of who they were. Grandmothers. Best friends. Parents. Mentors. This work is handled with care. Always.

Event Flyers & Celebration Programs – $75
Birthdays. Anniversaries. Retirements. Baby showers. Services. If it’s worth celebrating, it’s worth presenting beautifully.

Speeches & Toasts – $75/page
Whether you're giving a eulogy, a wedding toast, or a retirement speech—I help you say what's in your heart without stumbling through it.

Obituaries & Biographies – $75/page
A life story told well. I shape stories that reflect character, impact, personality — the real person behind the milestones.

College Application Essays – $75/page
The essay that gets you in. I help you tell your story in a way that's authentic, compelling, and impossible to ignore.

Whether it's for grad school, a scholarship, or a fellowship—your "why" matters. Let's make it clear.

Academic Writing & Editing – $75/page

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A: It depends on what you need. Wedding programs typically take 5-7 business days. Resumes and cover letters take 3-5 business days. Funeral programs are prioritized and can often be completed within 48-72 hours depending on urgency. College essays take 5-7 days. Rush service is available for tight deadlines—just let me know your timeline when you reach out.

  • Yes. Life doesn't always give us advance notice. If you're on a tight deadline, let me know when we talk and I'll do everything I can to accommodate. Rush fees may apply depending on turnaround time.

  • It depends on the project:

    • Wedding programs: Ceremony details, names, order of service, any readings or special elements, photos (optional)

    • Funeral programs: Photos, biographical information, service details, special memories or stories, obituary text (if you have it)

    • Resumes: Your work history, education, accomplishments, the job you're targeting

    • College essays: The prompt, what you want to say, any drafts you've started, application deadline

    • Event programs: Event details, timeline, names, theme or style preferences

    I'll walk you through exactly what I need when we talk.

  • You get 2 rounds of revisions included. That's usually more than enough because I ask the right questions upfront to get it right the first time. If you need more after that, we can talk—I'm flexible and want you to be happy with the final product.

  • Absolutely. I deliver print-ready files that work with any printer. If you need help coordinating with a specific print shop or have printer specifications, just let me know and I'll make sure the files are formatted correctly.

  • I can do either. If you have an obituary already written, I'll design the program around it. If you need help writing it, I'll ask you questions about your loved one and craft something that honors their life beautifully. Most clients prefer I write it—it's one less thing to worry about during a difficult time.

  • That's what our call is for. I'll ask questions, show you examples if it helps, and guide you toward something that feels right. You don't need to have it all figured out—that's my job.

  • I send an invoice through HoneyBook after we finalize the scope and pricing. You can pay via credit card, debit card, or bank transfer. A 50% deposit is due upfront to start, and the remaining balance is due when I deliver the final files.

  • Not at all. I work with clients everywhere—most of my communication happens via email, phone, and video calls. As long as we can talk and you can send me what I need, we can work together no matter where you are.
