Direct Care Alliance · September 2026

The testimony campaign

Research, video production and campaign design

The chairman was invited to testify before a Texas House select committee. The hearing ran six and a half hours, his part was buried inside it, and the client had no way to turn it into content.

The 2026 conference series

Head of Marketing and Events Coordination

EventsBrandProduction

A healthcare strategy firm wanted a national conference series and had no event infrastructure, no CRM and no brand system to run it on. I was the only person on marketing and events.

HazelPiper Creative

Founder. Brand, website, client system and operations

BrandSystemsOperations

I started the studio alone in 2026 with no template for how a one person shop serves clients without becoming an inbox.

Clients see one calm page and one weekly call. Behind it is a system that does the remembering, so I can spend my hours on strategy and writing instead of chasing approvals.

Ask me how I know.
