ABOUT

Step into a copywriting studio that does things differently—where strategy meets heart, and every message is thoughtfully researched, intentionally written, and genuinely made to resonate with your audience.

Proudly rooted in Chicagoland. Collaborating with brands everywhere.

Hey, I’m Julie Tomlinson.

I’m a former ad exec turned copywriter (and author) with a thing for clear messaging and human connection. I help brands move from “what are we even saying?” to “oh wow, that sounds just like us.” Using research, intuition, and a whole lot of curiosity, I’ll help you find your voice, speak your audience’s language, and finally feel good about the words representing your brand.

  • Divine little healers—equal parts purrs, play, and undeniable presence.

  • The sacred stillness where everything finally makes sense.

  • Endless sky, drifting thoughts, and the quiet wonder of looking up.

  • From dog-eared novels to disco-era tales from Grandma—anything that moves me.

  • "Julie didn't just write copy, she translated energy into words."

    She understood the essence of Lightwell so deeply, I felt teary reading what she created. It felt like my heart, my voice, and my values all came together on the page. Her presence was grounding, her questions were intentional, and the final result? Pure alignment.
