"Rarely do you have the privilege to intersect with someone who has Tess’s combination of qualities: accountable, active engagement, creative, skilled, agile. Tess steps into your marketing challenge—everything from digital promotional offers to Corporate Annual Reports—prioritizing what's most important, keenly and intuitively responding to cues around her, and creatively delivering solutions with impact. She was our secret weapon for years on all of Time Inc's media brands and remains my go-to copy resource."

“I’ve worked with Tess for many years and she has been an indispensable partner at various points of my career across myriad projects. Whether it is editorial-style longform content, creative assets for ad campaigns, or as a collaborative brainstorming partner, Tess is always a valuable member of our team. Her recent approach to audience segmentation around a key campaign not only influenced the direction of that particular project, it has become the cornerstone of our collective creative approach to others moving forward. Tess is a total pro, and a lot of fun as a partner.”

Her writing skills aside, Tess is the star player you want on your team. She’s responsive, fast, and a pure joy to work with."

She brings a wealth of insight and thoughtfulness to her storytelling, and her rare spirit and empathic nature toward our clients' challenges really set her apart. Tess has a real knack for creating authentic and honest human-centered storytelling and content strategy in a way that resonates no matter what the industry, audience, or subject matter."

Founder and CEO of Chart + Foster Brand Consultancy and Design Agency
"Tess is a dream to work with. I worked with her periodically while I was at Time Inc., and when I moved to Jet.com to start an editorial content presence there, I knew I wanted her voice. She was instrumental in helping me form the voice and mission of the Jet blog, and almost single-handedly created all the content for our first holiday season. She is always on top of deadlines, has fantastic, on-trend ideas, and is always more than open to any feedback or collaboration. Within a few months, our blog had over 80,000 views a month, and this was in no small part to Tess' helpful advice and tips. Would hire her wherever I go."
