Based in the Portland, Oregon area, we provide training, coaching, and editing services to business professionals, corporations, and institutions around the world.
Apicality was founded in 2014 as an outgrowth and extension of the communication consulting and editing services that founder Jessica Ordonez has been providing to international clients since 2006. Having witnessed the transformational power of customized writing workshops and coaching sessions, we’re committed to bringing those services to a larger audience of business professionals.

I thought the business writing workshop was very useful. [Jessica] made it very practical and gave us four clear ways that we can already put in practice to improve our writing. If there is another workshop, I would attend again. Thank you very much for setting this up!” – MBA Student, Willamette University
Jessica suggested ways for us to improve our business documents while correcting the grammar and syntax of our writing. She is a reliable, professional editor and I have enjoyed working with her. – V. Nielsen, telecommunications, Denmark
