Hey, I'm Darina. Messaging consultant, brand strategist, copywriter, and that tough-love friend who tells you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear (but always with care).
Let me take you back to when I first started as a copywriter. I thought I'd just be writing clever words and catchy slogans. But the deeper I dug, the clearer it became: most brands weren't missing creativity—they were missing clarity.
Try to picture this: you're trying to build a masterpiece, a skyscraper that towers above the rest, but your foundation is... Sand. Without a clear message or a strong foundation, even the most polished campaigns crumble. And it wasn't just the foundations—so many brands were weighed down by messy, inconsistent messaging, jargon-filled language, and noise that said a lot without saying anything at all.
That's when I realized something: it wasn't just about finding the right words. It was about helping brands uncover what they stand for. Their origin story. Their heartbeat. What makes them human.
Fast forward to today, and that's exactly what I do. I'm not just here to give your words a zhuzh-up (though I do that too). I help you tune your brand like a symphony, so every note—your story, your mission, your values—comes together to create a melody your audience feels and remembers.
But here's the catch: the journey isn't always comfortable. I'm here to hold up the mirror, show you what's working (and what's not), and challenge you to rise to the occasion. Because the best brands? The ones that stand out, resonate deeply, and inspire loyalty? They're built on courage, honesty, and a whole lot of heart.
So, what about you? Are you ready to dig deep, clarify your foundation, and create a message that not only cuts through the noise but stays true to who you are?
Because if you are, I'm here to help. And trust me—this is just the beginning of what's possible.
