Midlife UGC CreatorThe best person to reach your midlife audience is someone who’s living it.
At 61, my age is an advantage. I understand the priorities, purchasing decisions, and everyday realities of the audience many brands are trying to reach because I’m part of it. I also understand the kind of content that resonates. Strong hooks still matter, but authenticity matters more. Content that feels clear, trustworthy, and grounded in real life will always outperform something that tries too hard.
I’ve been creating content and telling stories since 2008. Somewhere along the way, a 20-pound cat named Miles and a Mustang GT became regular co-stars. The products I feature are the same ones I’m already researching, buying, and recommending because they’re part of my everyday life too.
My Approach
Every brand has a different story to tell. My job is to create content that helps your product feel less like an ad and more like real life.
⚫️ Product First
Your product stays at the center while the story creates the connection.
⚫️ Lived Experience
Everyday moments create believable content.
⚫️ Conversion Friendly
Built to capture attention, earn trust, and inspire action.
One version isn’t always enough. Alternate hooks, fresh angles, and creative options give you more to work with than a single video.
Content Niches
From everyday essentials to passion products, I create UGC across a range of industries, including:
Wellness • Self-Care • Beauty & Body Care • Technology • Automotive • Home • Pets

Creative Process
Good content doesn’t happen by accident. Here’s what working together looks like.
#1: DISCOVERY
We start with your brand, goals, audience, and creative brief.
#2: CONCEPT
I’ll develop or refine the content concept, then share it for approval before filming.
#3: CREATE
I will film authentic, on-brand content that feels natural and believable.
#4: REFINE
I’ll make any agreed-upon revisions before final delivery.
#5: DELIVER
You’ll receive ready-to-use files in the format you need.
Lived experience creates the kind of trust you can’t script.

Have Questions?
Q: What's the difference between influencer content and UGC?
Influencers are hired because of the audience they’ve built. UGC creators are hired because they create content that feels real and connects with your audience.
The videos may look similar, but the goal is different. Instead of paying for access to followers, you’re investing in content you can use across your own marketing channels.
Q: What are the different types of user-generated content?
UGC comes in a lot of forms, depending on where your audience will see it. Some of the most common include:
- Product demonstrations
- Testimonials
- Problem/solution videos
- Unboxings
- Voiceovers with B-roll
- Lifestyle content
- “Get Ready With Me” (GRWM) videos
- Product photography
The best format depends on your goals, your audience, and where the content will be used. I’m happy to help you figure out what will work best for your campaign.
Q: What kind of brands do you work with?
I create UGC for brands that want to connect with women 45+ through content that feels authentic, relatable, and trustworthy. My favorite projects include beauty and skincare, wellness, self-care, lifestyle, technology, home, automotive, and pet brands.
My goal is always the same: create content that builds trust and helps your product feel like a natural fit in everyday life.
Q: Do you only work with large brands?
Not at all. I work with established brands, growing companies, startups, and small businesses that want content that feels genuine and connects with real people.
You don’t need a huge marketing budget or an in-house creative team. If you have a great product and you’re looking for authentic content that helps build trust, I’d love to hear about your project.
Q: Do you provide the script, or do I?
Either works.
Some brands send a fully written script. Others have a creative brief, key messaging, or a general idea of what they want. And sometimes it’s simply, “Here’s the product…what would you do?”
I’m happy to work from your existing direction or develop a concept that feels natural on camera and true to your brand voice.
Q: How quickly can you deliver UGC content?
Most projects move pretty quickly.
Once I receive your product and creative brief, many UGC videos can be delivered within a few days. Larger campaigns or projects with multiple deliverables naturally take a little longer.
If you’re working toward a product launch or specific deadline, just let me know. Good communication makes for smooth projects, and I’ll always be upfront about timing.
Q: Do you offer ongoing partnerships?
Absolutely.
While I’m happy to work on one-off projects, I also love building long-term relationships with brands that need fresh content on a regular basis.
Whether it’s launching a new product, creating seasonal content, or simply keeping your social channels and ads feeling current, I’m happy to discuss an ongoing partnership that fits your needs.
