As a values-centric work advocate, I care deeply about where my time and energy is spent. I want to continue to build the type of community I want to see — that includes building alternatives to white supremacist, capitalist patriarchy. (More on my work through Feminist Oasis here.) To that end, I’m very interested in an alternative economy, and I want to help build that alternative economy with you. That means the currency I accept is not limited to cash/money.
My rates are listed below in cash, both hourly rate and sample project rates, and also examples of trade partnerships. If you have an alternative trade/barter request, let me know!
Hourly and Project Rates — Standard Cash/Money
Hourly Rate
I typically prefer to price based on a project, but I use an hourly rate as a starting point to help estimate a project cost. My hourly rate for most communications, copywriting and digital marketing work is: $95/hour.

- Note: your event/conference must align with my values (see “Who I Will Work With” guidelines)
I offer discounts for nonprofits, social enterprises and feminist-owned organizations. I also offer sliding scales for individuals, businesses, organizations or projects led by members of underrepresented groups.
Services Trade or Bartering
If you have a service, skill, trade or product that you would like to offer in exchange for my services, I may be interested in discussing a partnership. Potential services/things that I would love to exchange, either in conjunction with or instead of a cash/monetary payment:
- Admin work
- Bookkeeping/Accounting
- Graphic design
- Printing services
- Photography
- Laundry services
- Food (prepared or raw goods)
And potentially more — let me know what your area of expertise is, or what you love doing the most, and let’s see if working together makes sense.
