Lisa is a truly gifted writer. No matter how dry the material is, she can find the human element and bring it to the forefront in the most succinct and meaningful way. Her work is heartfelt, witty, clever, current, joyful, and beautiful. She somehow manages to be both engaging and SEO-driven — no small feat — and is exceptional at writing b2c copy for upscale lifestyle brands and anything health or wellness related.

Co-Founder, the fourth floor
Lisa is one of the most talented and agile writers I have ever worked with. She reads my seemingly mundane communications and runs with it in rapid speed, often times before I have fully formed the idea myself. There is so much noise in the world but Lisa always finds a way to break through it with a fun angle while maintaining our purpose in the process. It’s especially gratifying when our members go out of their way to comment about the writing in such a positive way.

I was hooked after one conversation with Lisa. I receive a lot of collaboration requests, but turn them down because they lack a unique selling point and originality. Lisa is an innovator who puts personalization in everything she does. As a long time freelancer, I know how rare it is to have this type of client relationship. I'm beyond indebted to Lisa for what we created together.
John STEIN
CO-FOUNDER, THE NEIGHBORHOOD HARVEST
I’ve worked with Lisa on our existing and emerging brands. She is one of the most talented and creative writers I’ve had the pleasure to work with. Lisa’s beautiful way with words, head for branding and creative ideas fully capture all that we do. Lisa always shows up with a high level of professionalism, and is also extremely fun to work with.
David Wolfe
Co-Founder + CEO, the fascination, LEESA SLEEP
They say a picture is worth a thousand words but in a world where we are bombarded with images, a few well-chosen words make all the difference. This is where Lisa stands out; her writing is creative and succinct with just the right touch of emotion. She excels telling her own stories, and generating copy for her clients.

When I met Lisa, she had never worked in an ad agency, but from day one she showed up with a ton of positive creative energy, great ideas, and strong writing. She made going to work super fun; with Lisa, not laughing is NOT an option. Even though she was working as a copywriter, something about her big ideas and her writing style told me that advertising wasn’t her final destination. Lisa is a creative chameleon, a unicorn of sorts. She one of those rare individuals who writes beautifully insightful and heartfelt feature articles, clever greeting cards, charmingly disruptive video scripts and disarming headlines for ads, all with ease and comfort. It doesn’t surprise me that her candle line line grabbed the attention of The Dieline and Anthropologie from Jump Street. She is a true creative soul, and an exceptional writer who gives nothing but good vibes. I would kill for the chance to work with her again.

Lisa has a very rare ability to make corporate brand messaging sound like a real conversation between friends. I don't know how she does it, but when we were first introduced several years ago, her personalized approach to business got my attention. Lisa used storytelling to make professionals sound like real people. She mixes wit, judgment, knowledge and an honest assessment of human nature to bring out the brand's true personality.
As an added bonus, she speaks as beautifully as she writes. Her wit is effortless and contagious. I know that every time I have the joy of speaking with Lisa, I get creative advice and new ideas, and I also feel wittier. (And, my cheeks usually hurt from laughing!)

Lisa definitely added whim and personality to my story. She’s easy to work with; she takes the time to understand your needs so she can help you in the most thorough way possible. I was thrilled with the finished product and highly recommend Lisa for projects large and small.

Thank you for all your help and talents. You are my Cannonball muse and a force of nature. I’m so glad your force found me.

I loved your profile rewrites. Taking hideous language and making it sound human makes such a difference. Hard to believe the before and after are the same people.
Shelley Tupper
Executive Leadership Coach/Personal Strategist
As a coach and writer, Lisa has many gifts that helped me articulate my emerging brand vision. She discovered precious hidden jewels in my story that I wouldn't have found on my own. It’s a treat to work with someone that not only gets you, but frees you up to see your talents in a refreshing new light. Lisa makes you do the work, but she also makes it fun and inspiring.

Lisa Richmon can shake the cobwebs off your naming efforts by pushing you in unexpected directions. Especially helpful was her advice to ‘look for names you can grow into.’

Working with Lisa was nothing short of an adventure in words. She dives right into the work with speed and vigor. She is great to talk to and work with, so full of positivity. She was worth every penny and I came away with a whole new appreciation for the written word.
amy eller
founder/designer, triple space design + amy hope
Lisa’s ability to distill information and create copy with myriad uses astounds me. I’m a designer. Throughout my entire career, I’ve been hired for my ability to create someone else’s vision. When it came time for me to write about Amy Hope I was stumped. Lisa made the project fierce, fast and fun. Lisa is fearless, probing and direct. Wildly funny, she can be extremely provocative in a way that made me dig deeper than I expected to, and enjoy finding my voice, message and my goal. I love that she is always accessible when I need an update and her experience and expertise comes with the added bonus of being an incredible connector. All in record time and on budget.
Marta Hill Gray
Founder of gray matter group
Lisa is my go-to genius when it comes to finding language for messages that hit too close to home for me to articulate to my satisfaction. She asks the right questions, comes up with great ideas, refines, asks more questions and makes sure her words resonate with me. I know she is more than extraordinary because I always read her work and think, “That was exactly what I wanted to say!” Not only is she an excellent writer, but she extracts that extra something to provide an authentic, creative and well-produced result.

I'm moved by Lisa's personal essays because they're beautifully written and so relatable. I'm equally impressed by her ideas for new articles.Lisa shines when she approaches universal experiences with a fresh beat.

I was struggling with a difficult assignment in new journalistic territory and didn't know where to turn. Lisa responded with a "been-there" understanding, helped me get my grounding and provided the information and perspective I needed. She was the link between a rough start and a home run.

Lisa is one of the funniest writers I know. Actually one of the funniest people I know. She is warm, intelligent and real – just like her writing. I'd love to work on a series with her!

My conversations with Lisa are always productive and enjoyable. She helps me look at my life and abilities differently which in turn has allowed me to see a range of possibilities I had not previously contemplated.
Dr. David Turok, DDS

When I hired Lisa to help me write my personal statement for my dental residency application, I expected some good lines and maybe some grammatical assistance. Instead Lisa helped me search a little deeper and find the true essence of what I wanted to say. From there the writing came naturally. Needless to say, I was accepted into the program that was my first choice.

Wow. Perfectly unsentimental, which is rare as roast beef, but still loving, and so real.
