Hi, I’m Valerie. I’m here to help.
I’ve worn a lot of different hats during my career—graphic artist, web dev, online journalist and copywriter, video editor, content marketer, and a bunch of other roles that don’t fit neatly in any box. Sherpa? Digital shaman? All-purpose advisor and problem solver? Golden retriever? Maybe so…
But after many years working in digital content production and marketing for nonprofits and for-profit businesses alike, I realized two vital truths—I genuinely love seeing my clients’ eyes light up when I show them a better way of doing things, and I want the work I do to make a real difference in the world. Being a helpful guide is what makes my soul sing.
This inspired me to refocus Outpost Digital Strategy to help mission-driven organizations and companies work smarter and more effectively—and to make sure their stories are expressed clearly and consistently—so the work they do is amplified.
I follow the “teach a person to fish” principle—the foundation of many bottom-up aid strategies—by empowering clients instead of fostering dependence. You’ve never met a consultant like me, I promise.
Being an etymology nerd, words are my jam. I think a lot about them and their impact. Communication and technology are also passions of mine, making me something of a left-brain/right-brain hybrid. I believe my unique perspective can help you solve previously unsolvable problems.
But enough about me, I want to know about you! Let’s chat and see what we can achieve together!
