about me

I'm a leader and a storyteller. Whether it's through Dungeon & Dragons, founding a magazine, or writing stories -- I'm curious to find the best way to connect people with each other, and narratives that move them.Stories glue people together. They can help people clarify struggle, find joy, or help find moments of meaning. I want to play a hand in delivering audiences to those stories that move people. This portfolio is documentation of my active pursuit of that goal.

PHM

The Challenge

PHM serves individuals and families navigating serious medical diagnoses. Its audience needs
to understand the urgency and complexity of their situation, while also knowing that they found
a highly capable partner.I revised and expanded PHM's website manuscript to communicate exceptional medical
expertise, while giving patients and families confidence and reassurance.

Reflection

This project reinforced that content strategy begins with understanding the audience's emotional and informational needs. The strongest messaging wasn't simply the most polished — it was messaging that understood what the audience needed to feel, understand, and do.

Impact

5 years – 9 staff – 40+ contributors - 140 articles published – 2000 monthly readers – 190K peak monthly social engagement

Why a digital magazine?

I built UDD3R to explore digital publishing as a space for creative community—not solely a place to read articles. Pivoting from the norms of print, UDD3R embraced its digital format, leaning into visuals to create tactile, explorative, monthly
exhibitions of multimedia art.

American Sediment

American Sediment follows two strangers who road trip across the United States. As they travel, they drift through time, where each state is a different point of US History, blending historical fiction with magical realism.I started this project during Covid. Since then, I've completed seven drafts of it, and it served as my master's thesis from Dartmouth MALS program. Currently, I am actively querying it!Below is a map of the characters' journey:

Opening Lines

My grandfather sits on the counter next to the paint openers and toner machines and his wide fingers scratch the scruff beneath his chin with the wedding ring he still wears even though Grandma forgot herself and everything else, and died quietly in her bed eight years ago. He fixes his glasses.

RUIN

RUIN is a dark fantasy comic, subverting the genre's contemporary tropes to produce a nuanced narrative about human faults and ambitions.I serve as team lead and head writer, working with another talented writer, artist, and designer.Inking has begun on the first issue. Here is an early splash page:
