STACY SARE COHEN
Interior Design Copywriter and Content Strategist
Cohen Creative Copy
I'm Stacy, your design copywriter—here to weave your words into compelling narratives that elevate, engage and inspire.
With a love of language, eye for detail and ear for storytelling, I'll eloquently sculpt your words into shape, so they're seasoned and prepared with precision, personality, persuasion —and polish.
Growing up surrounded by artists in the charming coastal town of Point Pleasant Beach, NJ, I spent many weekends at art shows, watching my mother, a mentor for local artists, win blue ribbons (when I wasn't running barefoot along the beach or filling notebooks with poetry and stories).
Our Victorian home–once a 19th-century inn named "Wuthering Sands"– was filled with professional painters, designers, sculptors, musicians and photographers, from the foyer and great room and onto the wraparound porch.
Spirited conversations about composition, color, perspective, and light and shadow filled every corner of our home, as did impromptu jam sessions with my brother at the piano.
In my own space, I expressed my passion for visual detail and design by rearranging furniture, swapping out linens, and layering décor—an instinct I later honed in design classes and now carry into my writing.
My Copywriting Journey
After leaving the nest, I embraced the cosmopolitan lifestyle of New York City before enrolling in college to pursue my love of design and writing. I took classes at the School of Visual of Arts, earned a Bachelor of Art in English from UCLA, where I honed my skills as an arts and entertainment reporter for the Daily Bruin —and later earned a Master’s Degree.
But frankly, my real education began when I entered the world of advertising copywriting, where I cultivated skills such as storytelling
and headline creation guided by some of the industry's most accomplished professionals.
Think Mad Men creatives without Don Draper's extramarital affairs and liquid lunches, although, the agency threw great parties.
Charting a Course To Luxury Copywriting
My introduction to writing for luxury brands started in 2008 with a staff copywriter role at a renowned advertising agency, creating content for Princess Cruises and Cunard Line.
After leaving the agency, I moved to Clearwater, Florida to be close to family and joined a yacht charter company, where I crafted content for three luxury brands.
Elevating Design Brands Through the Power of Storytelling
Making the switch from staff writer to business owner, I ventured into content marketing, learned SEO best practices and combined my love of design with writing.
Specializing in the design and home niche for the last five years, I assist designers and brands in marketing and editorial writing, contributing to Forbes Home, Apartment Therapy, HomeLight, Shelfology, and others as well as crafting copy for private design firms.
In these roles, I've seen firsthand how strategic copy and storytelling increases leads, bookings and sales. View some work examples.
When I'm not writing, I enjoy immersing myself in everything design and home, savoring sushi dinners, exploring new places with loved ones and spending time with my feline, Hazel.
