ABOUT ME
Hey there! 👋🏽
My name is William, but my friends call me TK. And since we’re friends now, you should too.
I’ve made a career crafting copy on both a freelance and in-house basis for nationally recognized brands like Coursera, Shutterfly, Rodan + Fields, Lucid Motors, and more. I’m great with grammar and a stickler for Oxford commas.
I’m what some might call a “nerd.” While I don’t disagree, I’ll let you draw your own conclusions upon meeting me—something I hope happens sooner than later!
