— that's a tension you quietly accept when working with creative talent. Nana defies that entirely. He's one of the most thoughtful and considered copywriters I've worked with, someone who doesn't just take a brief at face value but interrogates it and comes back with something sharper than what you asked for. And he does all of that whilst being someone whose meetings I genuinely look forward to. That combination is rarer than people think.”

He listened carefully, asked insightful questions, and demonstrated an immediate grasp of the brief. Throughout every interaction, he was warm, professional, and a genuine pleasure to work with. He delivered high-quality creative hooks and copy that exceeded our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. I would absolutely work with Nana again and would recommend him without hesitation.”

He is a talented writer, editor, presenter, brand expert and manager. He is ambitious yet kind. Nana turns challenges into opportunities. And he is a beacon of stability, even when surrounded by other people's chaos. In short: If you get a chance to hire Nana or even grab coffee with him, do it. Your life will be better off for it.”

Esther Haynes
Former Group Director of Brand Writing, Siegel+Gale; ex New York Times (T Brand)

He brings strategic rigor, empathetic awareness, and creative brilliance to every decision - big and small. He is calm and collected in high-stakes situations, and a clear communicator with a persuasive perspective in every interaction. And most of all, he easily passes the airplane test; I’ve enjoyed every project we've worked on together and I’d happily partner on projects with just the two of us. Beyond being personable, Nana elevates projects and those around him.”

to create beautifully, on-brand, evocative work. I know that whatever he delivers — even for the most complicated clients — is going to be on point, and truly appreciate him as a colleague and thought partner.”

Lisa Kane
Executive Director of Strategy, Siegel+Gale LA

He is an absolute professional and fosters a welcoming environment with everyone he comes across. On a consumer segmentation project, Nana consistently asked thought-provoking questions to encourage our team to think critically and from different angles (which can be a challenge for long-timers on a brand). He exudes warmth, is ever curious, and it is so clear that his work brings him joy.”

Each time I am able to have him aboard on a major brand project, I’m struck by his professionalism, sharp mind and creativity.

He deftly navigates relationships with both clients and coworkers, and brings critical thinking, great prose, and strategic rigor to his work. I so appreciate his willingness to figure things out together—he’s one hell of a partner and an all-around wonderful human.”

Michelle Bekas
Group Business Director, JKR

Over the past year, he’s been volunteering with The American Red Cross as a UX writer. He has revised critical messages sent to people who have been impacted by disasters, written accessible meta tags, and more. Nana is always ready to jump into new writing challenges, and always begins by asking questions with a thoughtful, creative mind. I’m grateful to know him, and it’s a pleasure to have him as a collaborative partner.”

Jamie Umak
Principal Service Designer, RC Care @ American Red Cross

As a consultant, he led the copy efforts for the launch of CIBT’s new brand, Entriva—working alongside strategy and design. Even though he joined the project much later, by the end of the engagement he’d delivered a clear brand voice, a spot-on brand story, and crisp website copy. It’s my pleasure to recommend Nana.”

Raksa Ouk Nazryk
President & Chief Product Officer, Entriva

His ability to really frame a problem through research and analysis allows him to provide value as a key member of any team. He focuses on what's important: delivering results that showcase breakthrough thinking. His writing also brings ideas to life through his analytical and creative mind.”

Obinna Izeogu
Vice President, User Experience @ J.P. Morgan

He is an imaginative, risk-taking writer who has an intuitive grasp of how to shape a story. With very little editing on the part of our staff, he consistently produced artfully constructed pieces that we published on our alumnae/i website. He worked independently, coming up with story ideas on his own, researching, and interviewing subjects. After submitting a story, he was open to and even welcoming of suggestions for improvement. I highly recommend Nana not just for his skill with words but for his eagerness to take on challenges and to grow as a person.”
—
Julia Van Develder
Former Editorial Director, Office of Communications @ Vassar College

He has an uncanny ability to break down complex problems into manageable bits. He’s a thinker who enjoys exchanging and exploring ideas; and a doer who brings concepts to life. Nana worked with my startup to help define our brand, and continues to help us hone our messaging. He is also an amazing writer, which coupled with his analytical mind, make him a formidable brand strategist. Any team with Nana on it should count themselves lucky.”
