Rosie McCobb

I am a writer, creative director, and designer. I keep my eyes and ears open to learn about and understand people, and the world around me. I love words, and how to use them to create a feeling, to share knowledge, or to "sell" an idea, perspective, or business offering. I received a BFA in Creative Writing from Emerson College in Boston, MA, and live and work in Kingston, NY.
