Global Construction Market Size
"It has been a great experience with Karissa who was able to very quickly deliver quality material, while being highly valuable in the shaping and polishing of our products’ messaging, and remaining flexible and responsive in her cross-team interactions. Her creativity, conTech expertise and copywriting skills make her a great asset to reinforce any marketing team in the sector and beyond."

Gregory Culpin
VP Marketing & Customer Success, LetsBuild
"The context was a website refresh/rebrand and launch of a suite of new products on LetsBuild. Karissa was essentially missioned on capturing the key value proposition of the offering, each product and owning the master copy in English of the website's main pages. The experience was excellent with Karissa. She very quickly grasped the essence of our offering (helped by her architecture/construction background) and tone of voice for the branding reinforcement we wanted to achieve. She was punctual, responsive, provided both high quality copy/content and proactive in bringing new ideas to the table. It was very easy to work with her and she was also transparent with the overall level of investment and time spent on the project in terms of budget management. I believe she could also bring much more to the team than just the scope she handled with us, and I would work again anytime with her."

Gregory Culpin
VP Marketing & Customer Success, LetsBuild
"My team worked with Karissa on an energy & utilities whitepaper and were impressed with her industry expertise, design skills, and speed of execution. Her attention to detail and ability to quickly incorporate new ideas and feedback were outstanding. I’m excited to engage her again on similar projects in the future."
Caroline Ang Wright
Head of Marketing, Exodigo
"Working with Karissa was a fantastic experience for us at Exodigo. She took our brief and ran with it, creating a beautiful and informative asset that will serve as a cornerstone for marketing campaigns now and into the future. She was collaborative, turned around feedback quickly and effectively, and delivered assignments on time or even early. Most of all we appreciated Karissa being a thought partner for us, not just taking our direction but truly helping us shape a final product we love."

"We were all thrilled with the quality of work Karissa provided for our LetsBuild website refresh. With her construction industry experience and the great work she provided, we would be happy to increase our existing collaboration with her."

Nicolas Regnacq
Marketing Lead, LetsBuild
"Karissa is fantastic at communication. Her writing was strong, structured well for SEO and gave tons of insightful tips. She gave us a very solid first draft and want there to be no surprises when published. The structure was extremely strong and well written - and that's what stood out to me."

Sean Robinson
Content Manager, Buildertrend
"I had the pleasure of working with Karissa on several projects when I was working at a boutique landscape architecture firm. Karissa had vision, integrity and deep knowledge of architectural lingoes and nuances. She was attentive to our needs, thorough and was able to turn around projects quickly and efficiently. I admire and respect her talent, skills and finesse as a professional."

Norazlina Manap
UX Designer & Communications Specialist
"Karissa delivered her first contract with us on time and on quality. We were impressed with her project management skillsets and expertise in the industry so we checked in with her and awarded the job for our most important engineering and BIM/VDC sub-services. We absolutely appreciate Karissa's repertoire and meeting deadlines due to which we always give her the preference."
