I’m Karly, an ACD copywriter and other-things-writer living in Brooklyn, NY. Before that, I lived in Atlanta. Before that, I lived in North Carolina. And before that, I lived in my mom. That’s her in the denim and that’s me in the pink pants.
Since leaving my brief stint as my parents’ backup singer, I’ve spent time at agencies like Droga5, Mother New York, FIG, and The Martin Agency, working on clients like Chase, Target, Benjamin Moore, Royal Caribbean, DoorDash, and Clue, plus a whole slew of new business.
Because I’m kind of a sadist, I write outside of my day job, too. My comedy writing has appeared in various internet places like McSweeney’s, The Belladonna Comedy, Points in Case and Weekly Humorist, and I’ve been lucky enough to perform stand-up and live storytelling through The PIT, Magnet Theater, and most recently, The Moth.
I’ve also served as a teacher, mentor and reviewer-of-portfolios to ad students across the country through programs like The Workshop, Miami Ad School, Creative Circus, MAIP and good ol’ email.
When I’m done with all that, you can find me reading menus before going to restaurants, perusing the farmer’s market, reading books in the park and generally being an 85 year old woman.
Let’s talk about food or something else:
