I’m an author, editor, content consultant, speaker, and award-winning design journalist with 15 years of experience working with editors and business clients. Trained as a creative writer, I bring a focused, professional approach to all my assignments –– from magazine features to corporate communications, from art and design books to short stories, memoirs, and radio commentaries. I live in the Silver Lake district of Los Angeles.
