a ❧ creative coach and ❧ writer — and a lifelong multi-hyphenate, widely curious and conversant. I’ve primarily worked as a ❧ journalist and editor in the spheres of design, culture, and place, and thanks to reams of story interviews and fifteen years of management, I’ve become especially adept at talking to people and making authentic connections. So this year, I launched a ❧ coaching practice.
My ❧ writing has appeared in Elle Decor, New York Magazine, Curbed, and Metropolis, among others, and I’ve worked as an editor, creative director, and strategist with a résumé that includes senior roles at Adobe, Vox Media, and a suite of brands under Soho House & Co. Independently, I’ve enjoyed a wide range of work, from academic copyediting to publication design and production.
I’ve given interviews about people-first product creation (Humans and Computers podcast), recommendations for the best work-from-home ‘fits (The Strategist), comments on “Live, Laugh, Love” decor (The Outline), tips on managing up down and to the side (Online News Association), and a talk on “whole places” (Palm Springs Art Museum).
Womanzine (toosexyandweird.com) a nonlinear webzine allowed me to worked with all my friends, and all the cool weirdos of the internet. And then later, some of my favorite tech and culture writers to create a print version for the world’s first emoji art show (Eyebeam).
Ask me about any of it.
on Substack, where I publish my ❧ coaching newsletter, New being being new, and on Instagram, where I also run an account for my love of vases and vessels.
