Digital Marketing & Content

Birmingham, Alabama · Available remote

I run the digital side of small organizations — the website, the email, the social channels, the content, and the graphics. Usually all of it, usually alone.

My background starts in commercial art and print production, where you learn to make something legible in four seconds because a mistake gets multiplied by ten thousand. That instinct runs through everything since.

What I do

Websites and content

Build and maintain the site, write what goes on it, and keep it working. I code the pages myself, so the thing I plan is the thing that ships.

Email and communications

Newsletters, member communications, and recurring sends — written, scheduled, and tested before they go out to people who will notice if something is wrong.

Search and analytics

Google Search Console, GA4, structured data, and the technical work that decides whether good content is findable at all — redirects, canonicalization, page speed, schema.

Moving paper onto systems

Replacing manual processes with digital ones: forms, records, payments, and the connections between them — then documenting it so the next person can follow it.

Writing

Three pieces about the work itself.

What the Flyer Knows

On the overlooked intelligence of print

The flyer arrives in a home. It gets left on a kitchen counter, carried to a store, handed to a neighbor. It has about four seconds to communicate everything important. There is no back button. There is no algorithm deciding who sees it. There is only the paper and the person and whatever you managed to put between them.

The People Who Hold the Room

On the unacknowledged infrastructure of small organizations

Every organization has someone who holds the room. Not the executive director. Not the board chair. The person who knows where the extension cord is kept and remembers that one donor prefers a phone call over email. The person whose departure, if it ever came, would cause three months of invisible chaos.

The City in the Margin

On Birmingham and the businesses that keep a neighborhood alive

The businesses that endure are not always the best ones. They are the ones that made themselves legible to the people who needed them most. That is a design problem. It is a communications problem. It is, at its root, a story problem.

The Quad Right Blueprint
