Get to know Word.Haus Founder, Tessa Carranza-Hawthorn.

Tessa is a Lawyer, Podcaster, Writer and Brand Strategist. Like so many of us, she studied a university degree that led her away from her passion for words and into a vocation that didn’t light her up nor give her the lifestyle she craved. After 10 years as a litigator, tech lawyer and startup advisor, she decided to craft a successful freelance life that is truly hers. She believes you can do it, too

Testimonials

"Tessa’s approach blends the professional and the creative seamlessly. Her background as a serious tech lawyer make all the Word.Haus offerings not only feel informed, but have deeply reassured me it’s possible to make a big career transition in my thirties."

— Kat Coate, Lawyer-turned-Copywriter

"I’ve worked through all the offerings from Word.Haus – from Sonic Study to the Live Demos and Template packs. As a former lawyer myself, I take a lot of comfort in Tessa’s professional background — which comes through so clearly in her delivery (minus the airs and graces!) Word.Haus has been invaluable not just in helping me build a profitable writing business, but in helping me show up to my practice with confidence and understanding my worth."

— Isabella Royce, Lawyer-turned-Copywriter
