Terry Tom Brown is a Copy & Editorial Director focused on writing what moves people, particularly within the beauty and wellness spaces. He believes brands have platforms to touch and influence, and finds his greatest fulfillment in work that shapes culture in a positive, enduring way.

Those who know him will tell you that he moved to New York City from Long Island 20 years ago as a makeup artist, still bleaches his tips, and recently finished an MFA in Creative Writing.

A lover of environmental studies, he volunteers at the American Museum of Natural History — stop by and he’ll regale you with facts about animal courtship behaviors. His personal essays exploring what humans can learn from nature can be found in The New York Times, The Guardian, and Observer Magazine.
