Houzz is an online interior design platform that offers homeowners a place to browse and save home remodel inspiration, find the right design and construction professionals, and connect with other homeowners. Houzz has grown into a community of more than 40 million homeowners, home design enthusiasts, and home improvement professionals across the United States and around the world.
I worked at Houzz for just under four years as an Associate Copywriter and eventually their lead Marketplace Copywriter. I wrote original subtitles for their bi-weekly “Shop Houzz” newsletters to help generate interest around a variety of curated collections of home products, and also wrote descriptions for thousands of top-selling products sold through their direct channel by top-tier vendors.
Below are select samples of the work I did during my time as a Copywriter at Houzz. Please visit this link for a PDF-version of my Houzz work portfolio.

The Verona flush mount is a high-impact fixture with a small footprint, perfect for your low-ceiling spaces.

Slim profile, big visual impact — this is the Stick Wall Sconce. This fixture does its job and stays out of the way, but not without first garnering a second glance. The Stick sconce is suitable for any design style, from mod to industrial.
