Want to make something together?

I write about people, places, food, art, ideas, and the things that connect them.

You’ve seen how I think. Sometimes unhinged, sometimes like a proper voiceover.

I also work more privately: with founders, brands, publications, cultural organizations, and embassies on profiles, essays, brand stories, ghostwriting, editorial direction, and research-led storytelling. Sometimes that means writing the story. Sometimes it means helping someone figure out what the story actually is.

If you’d like that thinking applied to something you’re making, here are some options of where to find me:
