Give your digital presence a little bit of a facelift 🪄

Oh, hello there!
I'm Mercedes, and I've spent the past 16 years writing, creating, and amplifying voices — as a professional author, freelance writer, marketer, PR pro, and now photographer + life coach.
My work lives at the crossroads of art and impact — helping people and brands alike find their voice, share their truth, and connect in a way that actually means something.
Over the years, I've learned that storytelling isn't just about words — it's about presence. It's about the way you show up in your brand, your career, your art, and your life. It's about saying, "This is who I am," and meaning it.
Whether I'm crafting copy that makes people feel seen, capturing quiet strength through my lens, or guiding someone through a mindset shift, my goal is the same: to create connection that lasts.
If you're here, it's for a reason.
So take a wander through my site, explore the work that speaks to you, and let's see if we might be the right fit to build something bold — and beautifully human — together.
Get to Know Me Through My Clients

I hired Mercedes because I needed a messaging guide for my business. I needed something I could use across my website, social media, email marketing, and beyond. I wanted a copy that truly fit my personality and aligned with my business goals, and Mercedes was perfect for the job! She made the entire process quick, simple, and enjoyable. I loved working with her so much that just a couple of weeks later, I hired her again to write my website copy and an email sequence for my business.

I've really enjoyed the workshop Mercedes gave us a while back. She shared very useful insight on copywriting in general and helped us shift our thinking in the right direction when it comes to creating engaging copy for landing pages, blogs, and even social media posts. She also shared resources and some good copywriting tricks that I personally still use regularly for professional and personal projects.
