About Me
I live a quietly contemplative life in a century-old Seattle apartment building on an idyllic block. Inside you’ll find me fussing about the kitchen, reading in my purple chair, and willfully catering to the whims of my cat, Gucci.
I work remotely, with many years of experience as a content editor in the digital media space. (Though I do have know-how in the world of print. And still accumulate, travel with, and devour paperback and hardcover books.)
Daily walks are an indispensable part of my existence. Besides the physical benefits, I find a wandering cadence makes me more observant, thoughtful, and a better listener. While strolling through familiar routes, I take in subtle landscape shifts and delight in (re)discoveries. Experiences that not only sharpen me personally, but also professionally.
I’m a creative dreamer who will curiously explore rabbit holes, yet am equally comfortable getting down to brass tacks. I don’t hoard knowledge, and take pride in being approachable and collaborative.
Two things I make every week: a pot of beans and a loaf of bread. My three favorite fruits are blood oranges, persimmons, and tayberries. I AeroPress my coffee.

Roles and Skills
Copy Editor
In five words: Economizing thoughts without sacrificing sizzle.
Writer
Food and lifestyle focus. Heds and deks, short copy? See what I can do with limited real estate. Stretch-adept when given room to roam for personal essays, profiles, and social/marketing copy with panache.
Content Editor
I will dive headfirst into any CMS and get granular, while zooming out to corral content strategy. Can get narwhals flying across Asana tasks. I am a laser.
Kind Words
Unflappable
“We worked closely together in putting together 60 detailed scripts that were needed for production. The turnover time was short. He was always game-ready and we got it done in an incredibly short time span.”
Spelunker
“Jameson asks the right questions and locates the right answers. Someone who can descend into the depths of your company's CMS and figure out what's working and what's not.”
Conscientious
“Jameson is a conscientious writer and editor, a detail-oriented person who’s always looking to make even the smallest piece of content accurate and relevant.”
Meticulous
“As a content editor, he is superior — taking great care of the work he creates, but also paying meticulous attention to details and the storytelling of a piece.”
