About me
Words. Who needs ‘em, ay? I do. As a copywriter and poet, words are pretty important to me. I think the right words can do the most amazing things. And the wrong ones? Well, I think we’ve all experienced how frustrating that can be. I help brands find the right words to capture personality and communicate identity, so people can quickly understand who they are and what they stand for. Put simply, I connect brands to people through language. If you want a hand finding the right words, just drop me a message at joseph.lee.writings@gmail.com
