Chris O'Reilly

Writer, storyteller, and excited you're here

United States

Welcome! I'm Chris: an English nerd, improviser/sketch comedy performer, and young professional with 10+ years of experience in creating and designing optimized content in fast-paced, technology-driven environments.

Most recently, I've led the charge for Amazon Business' supplier charter as the senior UX writer and writing team lead. I've worked cross-functionally with several teams, including marketing, product, and legal, to lead users through journeys and not want to pull their hair out.
*Due to the sensitive nature of the work, samples may be available upon request.

I've also served as:
**Slalom Chicago's first-ever Senior UX Content Strategist / Copywriter, where I brought clear, cohesive messaging strategies and copy creation to mission driven clients in the Chicagoland area
**Great Wolf Lodge's Senior Copywriter, leading the charge on bringing their mission of bringing joy to families to life through family-friendly, joyful content
**A published author! In 2019, my book Seeking Adversity was published on Amazon by New Degree Press.

My passion lies in the process of creating and telling stories to bring joy and satisfaction to others, and above all, doing so with people who share that passion.

I cannot wait to hear how we can make that happen together.
