Hey, I’m tess kessler.

 

Yes, my name rhymes, kind of. No, I can’t take credit for it.

But what more proof could you want that I was destined for professional wordplay from the very start?

If you’re in the market for a senior copywriter with plenty of traditional agency experience plus a few enriching side quests, then you’ve come to the right aisle. I’m currently open to full-time, part-time, and freelance opportunities.

I’ve also dabbled in the true crime podcast sphere, penned articles for Harper’s Bazaar, Los Angeles magazine, and Milk Studios, and wrote a personal essay about my family’s twisted stalker situation for Buzzfeed News, which hit #1 on Apple News.

When I don’t have a word doc open, I’m either:

  • Studying the menus of new restaurants (my scripture, if you will)

  • Searching the depths of the flea market for a niche clothing item that my mom won’t understand

  • Torturing myself by way of the cruel and unusual Bulgarian split squat

  • Walking on my hands (my only party trick)

  • Dreaming up new ice cream flavors (heavy on the chunks)

  • Cosplaying Eve Babitz whilst sipping a cocktail on a patio somewhere

If any part of that intrigues you, feel free to send me an email—I’ll be here ✧
