Trina Kurilla

Senior Copywriter Tea Fiend Tsarina of Stories The Storm of Words Magical Girl Maven

I am a chocolate-fueled storytelling extraordinaire who spins tales of kids facing off against mafia bosses and shadow monsters in one breath while brewing up a grandmother whose compost just has that extra special something (definitely not people) in another. When I’m not sending off protagonists into harm’s way, I enjoy finding the perfect way to describe a meal or dissect what makes a film or book’s plot tick.

My Creative Approach

I enjoy peeling back the layers of narrative behind a brand, where they’ve come from and what their vision for their future looks like. My favorite part of the writing process? That moment. You know the one—where the fog clears and the perfect words emerge like a dragon from the mist? The “a-ha dragon” is the one I’m always chasing.

Teamwork

I love to collaborate. I’m game for a good brainstorming session with other creatives to get the ideas percolating. Some of the best gems come from those moments, then I like to collect those raw ideas, refine them, and return with polished jewels.

Writing Goals

In an ideal world, I’m crafting stories that move people. Whether that’s inspiring them to dream or getting them to crack a smile, my descriptions evoke a response and keep them reading. I love to bridge that gap between a human and their desire, be it the fantastic or within arm’s reach on this earthly plane, my words get them to their own “a-ha dragon” worthy of pursuit.
