👋🏻 Hello, I’m Scott Kubie.
I’m the author of Writing for Designers, a book that helps design teams get the writing done. I’m also a consultant, coach, and speaker focused on content strategy, UX writing, and product design.
I borrow the best tools and ideas from content strategy, design thinking, and information architecture, along with the art of writing and editing, to solve business and strategy problems.
I’ve been focused on the content side of digital strategy for 12+ years. I’ve worn just about every UX and content strategy hat you can wear, including information architect, UX writer, content strategist, and product owner. I’ve worked previously as the Lead Content Strategist at Brain Traffic, the world’s preeminent content strategy consultancy, and as a Staff Content Strategist at Mailchimp.
Now, I’m independent, and ready to bring your team more:
Clarity
👓 Move forward with shared understanding and strategic alignment.
Collaboration
🍻 Work better together across product, content, design, and strategy.
Impact
🔊 Communicate ideas and concepts in ways that inspire action.

Need help unsticking a wicked problem? Guidance on where to take your org’s digital strategy, content strategy, or UX writing journey next? Support selecting vendors or hiring for UX content roles? Aligning and scaling content operations across your enterprise or growing startup?
Let’s talk. Use this form (or the booking page) to schedule a 75-minute consulting session. We’ll chat for an hour, then spend the final 15 summarizing and planning any next steps for you. I’ll send a follow-up with any links or resources, and you can optionally request a transcript or recording for your notes.
Consults work best with no more than 4 people, total, including me.
Can’t we just talk first?
I ask all potential clients to start with this initial, paid consultation. The nature of my expertise with digital strategy, and especially content strategy, is such that the first hour of conversation is often the most valuable, and might be all that you need, at least to get things unstuck and moving in your organization.
If there’s something I can still help with after our first session, I’ll be happy to have further business development conversations for a project, or recommend a consulting retainer package.

Please email anything for me to review in advance to scott@kubie.co after booking. Cheers!
(In Providence? Contact me first, happy to meet in person!)
