Writer, editor, and content marketer.
Hi! I’m Anjie. I work with businesses to think creatively about the stories to tell, and then I help bring those stories to life. I build editorial teams, manage productions, and edit and write.
I work with companies including Apple, Grammarly, and Emergence Capital. Previously, I managed the digital publication at WeWork and, prior to that, was a reporter for The Wall Street Journal. My writing has been featured in publications including Fast Company, Literary Hub, and Quartz, and content studios including at The New York Times and BBC.
I enjoy taking the time to formulate ideas through words and garments through textiles. In my spare time, I knit, sew, write fiction, and co-organize a book club that reads Asian-American and immigrant writers. I live in Brooklyn with my cat, Daisy. If you think we should work together, I’d love to hear from you.
