I write to understand the world. My mind can be a cluttered place, so putting things on paper (or onto a screen) helps me to connect disparate ideas, processes complicated information, and better connect with the world around me.

My writing strengths lie mainly in skills of analysis. As you will see throughout this site, my best work comes about when I explore complicated subjects like the discourse of Black American identity from the Civil Rights Era to present, UX research analysis, and recontextualizing information for novel audiences.

I have worked quite a bit in the UX field. I would love to dive deeper into that world, or explore other facets of professional writing like journalism, technical writing, or instructional design.

I have a small obsession with apocalyptic sci-fi. Whether it’s books like Parable of the Sower or Cats Cradle, or movies like Children of Men or Interstellar, I love being transported into worlds like ours facing impossible situations. The character studies that ensue show the depths of humanity in ways I find incredibly moving.

For fun, I love to learn new software, read, watch movies, write, hike, and learn about anthropology. I’m also studying French and learning about design in my spare time.
