Imperfect Foods
Brand-Forward Copy On All Platforms

The Highlight Reel
Imperfect Foods started rescuing ugly produce and grew into a sustainable and upcycled food haven. As sole Copywriter sitting on the Brand team, I brought strategy to life across all channels. That looked like:
Email campaigns to engage, win back, and retain customers
Blog posts to edu-tain, delight, and build SEO
Landing pages to inform and express the brand
Social posts to build engagement and brand recognition
Product packaging to tell a story
UI/UX copy to improve functionality at a glance
Ads to build company momentum

Food waste in the U.S. is a big problem—but the last thing we wanted was to depress our audiences.
The brand voice at IF made the customer the hero and was all about optimism (with a healthy dose of food puns for levity).
When Misfits Market acquired Imperfect, I championed the strategy for our voice across the combined org. I wrote messaging that went out to our millions of combined customers announcing the merger.

We created this Instagram post for Imperfect in 2022. Misfits repurposed the same copy in 2024—the story lives on!
