Poet - UX Writer - Content Strategist

Nicole Alexandra Michaelis

I create compelling UX copy and content that converts based on experience, observation, and data.

I've worked with amazing clients such as Spotify, Hyper Island, SAS, Doberman, iZettle, and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. I've helped them with their strategy, UX writing and content development.

I teach content marketing at Berghs School of Communication, UX Writing and Storytelling at Hyper Island, and host the popular Content Rookie Podcast.

Why am I doing this?

I believe that words are powerful. They can make people feel seen and spark action. As a kid I was obsessed with finding the lost ark (thanks, Indiana). Now I know I've always had it. By telling meaningful stories, you can impact, make-believe, attract, and convert.

I'll show you how.

This is why I'm good at it

I'm native in English and German and fluent in Swedish.
I really love words. I write poetry and short stories in my free time and have published a poetry collection. I read dozens of books every year.
I have over 12 years of experience writing for marketing and design teams.
I have a Master of Science in Marketing, a BA in Business, and a pre-diploma in Engineering. I also took courses at Hyper Island.
I teach Content Marketing at Berghs.
I'm unafraid and love to disrupt. I won't be shy with ideas - we'll create something awesome together.

This is what my clients say

We have been remotely working with Nicole for more than 6 months. She has never missed a delivery or failed to schedule time or meetings. I am utmost satisfied to work with a person who becomes a part of your team rather than staying a by-standing consultant. Especially, when the works she does leaves no room for doubt.
