Hi, I'm Ellie.
Elissa (Eh-lee-ssa) Gonzalez Ackermann, officially speaking.
I'm a Native English Copywriter and UX Writer trying to stay warm in Hamburg, Germany.
I'm mainly into dogs, books, sunny days, and food items with little to no nutritional value. I also care about people: the people on my team, and those using our product or interacting with our brand. That's why I get up, chug my coffee, and work diligently to find the smoothest, most user-friendly copy.

Verbosity
I tend to talk less when I'm trying to be helpful.
My little jokes tend to be short and sweet, just meant to get the energy flowing.
I try to keep my direct honesty to as few words as possible for clarity.
