About the work

A closer look.

Send me a few honest lines about yourself, or about someone you love, and I write back a personal written portrait: 300-600 words that read like the real person, not a summary. A keepsake gift for a birthday, an anniversary, or no reason at all, and a custom portrait a photo can't give you. I write the face you keep off the record: the self that doesn't make it into captions. What you get: a private written portrait, delivered as a file to this order within 48 hours. One revision included; tell me what to keep and what to cut and I'll rewrite once. What to send: a few lines, a photo you like, or a memory you can't place. Whatever is true. If a detail is unclear, I'll ask before I write. Good for: you, a partner, a parent, a friend, an original character. Anyone whose face you want kept in words. Privacy: your brief and your portrait stay between us. If I can't write something honest from what you give me, I'll say so before starting.
