 How I got here (CliffsNotes version):

  • As a kid, I stayed up late reading under the covers with a flashlight — hooked early on the power of a good story.

  • I was the last of my friends to join social media… and somehow built a career in digital marketing and copywriting.

  • I love to refinish furniture I find on the curb and turn it into art. Creativity takes many forms, and I love exploring them all.
