Biography
Hi. I’m Üma, a freelance editorial and copy writer, blogger, editor and producer. For as far back as I can remember I’ve had a passion for communication, language and expression. I studied visual communications in college before beginning an illustrious career as a graphic designer. I worked my way up from junior designer to art director and while I loved the creative process, I secretly envied the writers and editors I worked with. As an independent marketing consultant, I was presented with the opportunity to write content for my clients, and eventually made the lateral move from visual to written communications. Now, I’m lucky to have work I love; massaging language, context and imagery into stories that build great brands. Areas of special expertise include: cycling, mountain biking, competitive cycling, fitness and wellness, and psychology. In 2010 I published my first book—BikeYoga—a comprehensive and unique approach to flexibility and recovery for cyclists. In my spare time, I continue my work on a book of creative nonfiction. I am currently accepting new copywriting and editorial clients. When I’m not writing I’m usually out riding and racing my mountain bike around the beautiful Pacific Northwest. My name is Üma. The umlaut is silent.
