Thanks for visiting! I’m Jackie—a writer and editor based in the Great Western Catskills. I specialize in telling human-centric stories that inspire creativity, curiosity, and self-discovery.
Before packing it all up, moving to the country, and going freelance, I spent eight years at Etsy, during which time I had the privilege of leading editorial content strategy, producing the “Featured Shop” series, and writing and editing everything from long-form profiles on craft and entrepreneurship, to snappy gift and shopping guides, to inspirational how-tos, recipes, and DIYs. My portfolio includes interviews with editors in chief, artisans, and celebrities from all over the globe and covers a wide range of lifestyle verticals such as home and living, art, fashion, beauty, jewelry, crafts, collectibles, weddings, vintage and more. Come have a read, and feel free to say hello!
