• Writing is my first home

    My written work has appeared in a variety of publications ranging from in-flight magazines (Hemispheres), & media sites (The Daily Beast), to respectable newspapers (The San Francisco Chronicle). My copywriting has anchored digital campaigns for brands as diverse as BritBox/BBC, Baskin-Robbins at Home, & Be Electric Studios. In addition to this creative work, I've ghostwritten blogs for CEOs, CTOs, and tech recruting agencies, and written technical ebook, white pages, publicity campaigns, as well as published widely about learning, teaching, creativity, and art.
