About me

Photo by Mai Iskander

Oh, hey there. So you’re one of those website users who would rather read a bio than a bunch of case studies. You’re all, “What are Jen Boudinot’s hobbies/interests? What is she like to work with? Does she have a carefully honed corporate philosophy to share?” Well, you’ve come to the right place….

At heart, I’m a writer. My true love is researching and writing about history, and I became a licensed New York tour guide partly just to see if I could pass the test. I’m the creator of the site FlatbushHistory.com, where I write about my neighborhood. I go to the library for fun, sometimes to read old microfilm.

I attack client content with a similar zeal and encyclopedic memory, devouring decks and getting to know products through the expertise of client stakeholders. Using this knowledge (and my tour guide–esque charm) I become a passionate advocate for creative work that advances value propositions, as well as a trusted advisor to the client on what will work to convert their customers.

I believe in the power of communication, and love mentoring others to better express themselves, whether they’re a novice sending emails for their non-profit, an engineer writing documentation for their latest creation, or an experienced copywriter who’s having trouble nailing a hero headline. Originally a non-fiction book editor, I have more than 20 years’ experience as a creative cheerleader, keeping my teammates rejuvenated and ready to create, even with the setbacks and restraints inherent to corporate creative work.

I’m looking for UX content strategy opportunities at creative agencies and other future-thinking companies (how’s that for carefully honed!) in the New York area, and am especially interested in settling down with that special salary job. Thanks for taking a look!
