We are better together.

Whether we embark on a project that will be seen by thousands or a project you want just one person to notice, collaboration will be our MO.

I’ll listen to you, reframe what you’re saying and reflect it back to you. As this conversation continues, your words, your brand and your personality shine. I’m shaping and polishing, but the soul of the raw material and the finished product are all you.

The result: Those people, or that one person, you’re hoping to reach will hear you, clear and true.

Let's talk

My promise

What’s on the inside matters. These are the values I bring to our work.

 

Integrity

I will apply important questions to our work: Does it do least harm and most benefit? Is it ethical?

Inclusivity

I will initiate and mediate conversations about language that encodes racism, misogyny and other forms of bigotry, and I will seek ways to change words, minds and practices.

 
 
 

Transparency

I will disclose any potential conflicts of interest. I will acknowledge potential sources of bias and make room to fully examine them.

Empathy

Through conversation and listening, I will do my utmost to relate to people from their perspectives and create editorial experiences that honor those perspectives.

 

Respect

I respect and admire your effort and I will work to support it to the best of my ability. I value your vision and support your path.

 

Trust

I honor the love and dedication you put into your work by creating a bond of trust, never disclosing information about our project with anyone without your express consent.

“Kristen was an ally at all times and collaborated with a contagious enthusiasm that never wavered. The feeling of partnership made me strive to do better. Kristen taught me skills I didn’t realize I had. She made me a better storyteller. She made me think. And she made me laugh, too.”

— Todd Jones, senior writer at Ohio State Alumni Magazine and host of “Press Box Access” podcast
