Hey, I’m Avery.

I’m a copywriter and creative director, living in Portland and working all over. I’ve spent more than a decade helping brands, agencies, and creative teams earn people’s attention, rather than chase after it.

It isn’t always easy, but I didn’t get into this industry because I thought it would be easy. I did it because I thought it would be fun.

Lucky for me, it has been.

You can reach me at averystokes303[at]gmail.com or connect with me on LinkedIn.

If you’re recruiting, please check out c0ffe3 and diversecreatives.com. Our industry could use more perspective from people who don’t look like this guy.
