ABOUT ME

Hey, I’m Tess, a writer living in Los Angeles.

I’m currently the Senior Copywriter at Said Differently Consulting, a fully-remote creative ad agency, but here’s the lowdown on what else I’ve been up to:

As a SoCal native, it was only natural for me to flee to New York for college, where I studied Journalism, Creative Writing, and Sociology at NYU, wrote for fashion magazines like Harper’s Bazaar and creative studios like Milk, and endured a fun Polar Vortex or two — all in the name of character development. Once I’d met my quota of exposed brick, I returned to LA, where I worked as a copywriter for a major ad agency. Watching my commercial scripts come to life on set inspired me to explore the realms of screenwriting and TV production, so I switched gears and got a job on Hulu’s Little Fires Everywhere, and then Apple TV+’s The Morning Show. I’ve also dabbled in the true crime podcast sphere, penned personal essays, and more.

Nowadays, I’m back to copywriting, but I’m open to anything and everything. Feel free to send me an email — I’m always looking for my next chapter.
