About Me
Kristi Trimmer
I am a Freelance Editor and Social Media Consultant out of Phoenix, AZ, and absolutely love everything about plants, flowers, gardening, food, and my all time love, wine. Can you believe I am also a Master Florist and a Master Gardener too? I can’t live life without good food, amazing wine, or great friends either! My adventures as the Vino Foodie for Foodies Like Us taught me a deeper appreciation for great food from highly-talented local chefs and sharing that love with my Foodie friends and a great bottle of wine.
I started my professional career as an entrepreneur and small business owner at the ripe young age of 20. My love for flowers and gardening developed two very successful businesses and propelled me into the world of small business ownership. I have been fascinated with animals all my life and can’t imagine my life without them either. My Beagle Kirby is my best buddy and my cat Sebastian loves to show who is the true king of the castle.
Through the years, my love for writing and editing has lead me to research and write numerous articles, newsletters, web content, and blogs for myself and for others. I also write and edit technical documents for government contracts and am vastly experienced in the proposal process from the release of the RFP through the entire submittal process.

I am still a Studio Florist & Event Coordinator where I tend to focus primarily on Weddings, Events, and Sympathy flowers. My floral website is www.OrangeDragonfly.com if you are in need of flowers or event coordinating, please think of me.
Have a gardening question? Just ask. I love to answer those too!
Kristi is the BEST! I would recommend her for any writing you need done. In this word of social media it is even MORE important for you to READ amazingly. Some of us (me) was not given that natural born talent. Kristi was. Not only her knowledge of writing but also her ability to get into the individual mind of the business owner and harness her creativity really proves to be one of the best investments a person can make.
Ask her to ghost write. Ask her to make what you have, better… whatever you do, don’t publish anything without Kristi looking first.
You can’t re-do your first impression.
*wink*
(Ok, Kristi, go ahead and edit this for me now… lol)
very useful read. I would love to follow you on twitter.
Do you have copy writer for so such good articles? If so please give me the contacts, because this really rocks!
I am the copywriter on the blogs and articles. Let me know what you need written and I am happy to do that for you. Glad you like how I write!
Generally I do not post on blogs, but I would like to say that this post really forced me to do so! really nice post.
