About Linnaea
Linnaea has been writing in some form or another almost her entire life before realizing she could do it professionally. Most recently, her #wordnerd obsession has taken her into the marketing and content sphere where she’s honed her craft through work with a variety of companies – from small and passionate not-for-profits to international e-commerce brands.
When it comes to work with Twirling Umbrellas, if it involves words, Linnaea’s probably had some part to play in it. From blogs to microcopy, landing pages and more – if you’re looking to get some copywriting done, she’s your gal.
Quick Hits
- Has worked on brands such as Best Buy, Future Shop (rip), Yellow Pages, Fox Factory Suspension, Race Face, and Easton Cycling
- Holds four degrees in fields she’s never worked in
- Not celiac, just prefers the taste of cider over beer
“There’s something to be said about reading a clever line, a great headline, or a piece of copy that’s so beautifully done that you’re immediately jealous you didn’t think of it first. That’s the kind of writing I aspire to do.”
Favourite Things
Outside of her obsession with putting together pretty phrases and paragraphs, Linnaea loves the outdoors and can be found on xc skis, all kinds of bikes, or lacing up running shoes in the wilds of North Vancouver. She is also a London Fog and candy enthusiast who dreams of someday conquering her TBR pile of books.
