Hi! I’m Kris.

I started out in entertainment, pinning storyboards and running dailies for directors and producers at DreamWorks Animation while finishing my Visual Arts & Film degree at the University of California, San Diego. After two credited feature films (in story and editorial) and a concurrent M.A. in Humanities (I’m obsessed with history), I decided to change my path from film editing to screenwriting. So, why Copy Girl? It’s actually based on a coming-of-age screenplay I wrote many moons ago, and the name stuck.

Over a decade and a new city later (Brooklyn!), I still don’t consider myself a one-discipline kind of writer. My approach to copywriting is exactly the same as when I concept for creative writing: I think of consumers as characters. Who are they and what makes them tick?

The backstories are endless.
