Skills
Hey there, I’m Ernie. For the past two decades, I’ve been a strong advocate for journalism in all its weird, fascinating forms. Some of my primary skills:
Design.
I am an award-winning designer who has worked at a number of daily newspapers. (Fortunately, I outlived nearly all of them.) I also have spent years building designs for all of my personal work in different settings.
Writing.
I am a celebrated writer who is skilled with niches, especially tech, history, nonprofits, and breaking news. I have written literally thousands of pieces over the years, including at least one on cheese curls.
Strategy.
I am skilled at editorial planning and content development, and have worked in a variety of CMS platforms. I have deep knowledge of newsletters, self-publishing, and social media. I know what good content looks like.
But enough about me. I ultimately want to help you figure out that nagging problem of yours. You know the one.
Perhaps it’s a gap in knowledge on a very specific or techical subject. Perhaps you’re hoping to launch a new vertical and you have no idea what to do next. Perhaps you need someone who understands code, who can figure out some of the inefficiencies in your approach.
I know a guy who can help with all of this stuff. Yes, based on the effort I’m putting into this page, it’s me. But again, we’re talking about your needs here.
Ultimately, what can we do to help you tell the best possible story you can? Yes, I said we, because this is a collaborative process. We’re going to work together to tell an amazing story.
