Angela Raines, Chief Copywriter
Copy maven Angela Raines crafts captivating language that honors the heart of your vision — and expresses it with persuasion and punch. Her studies ranged from the poetic to the ultra-pragmatic, focusing on French literature, philosophy, and pre-med. Her linguistic follies brought her to a two-year stint in Lyon, France, where she learned to appreciate Proust, long walks, and all manner of cheese. After vagabonding throughout Europe and the Middle East, she moved to Boulder (as one does) to write, do yoga, and practice Zen. Her stint as an editorial intern at Elephant Journal polished her web writing wiles and her blogs, web pages, newsletters, and emails have persuaded clicks from many and varied audiences. She is an enthusiast of all things yogic, contemplative, and chocolate.
