Sample Work

Emails written to prove it, not just claim it.

Three spec samples across three markets. Each demonstrates a different email type — welcome, cart recovery, story-driven newsletter — and a different tone. Written for hypothetical brands, but built with the same craft your emails will get.

Welcome Sequence · Wellness

The tea I almost didn't send you

Written for: Wildwood Botanicals — a hypothetical small-batch adaptogenic tea brand from Oregon.
Welcome sequence email one — story-driven, personal, warm. Uses a founder confession to build trust before selling anything. For wellness brands whose customers are women 40+ who buy on values, not urgency.

Abandoned Cart · E-commerce (Outdoor Gear)

The Sage rod is still in your cart — one honest question

Written for: Bear Creek Outfitters — a hypothetical fly-fishing shop in Livingston, Montana.
Cart recovery email two — no urgency, no coupon codes. Names the three real objections that stop mid-priced buyers and answers each one directly. For brands whose customers are sophisticated enough to see through pressure tactics.

Story Newsletter · Coach / Consultant

The client I fired last Tuesday

Written for: Mira Chen Coaching — a hypothetical business coach for female founders 40-55.
Weekly story newsletter using the SLPC framework (Story · Lesson · Pivot · CTA). One specific story, one non-obvious lesson, one question the reader can't help answering in their own head. This is the pattern that builds consulting relationships.

About these samples. These are spec pieces — written for hypothetical brands to demonstrate voice, framework, and thinking. I don't publish real client work here (it's their traffic, their conversion data, their business decisions). When you become a client, you get the same craft — applied to your actual customers, your actual products, your actual voice.
