I’ve worked with some great brands.

And I’ve written a variety of stories for magazines. Here a few of my favorites.

  • All on the Line

    Drawing on the power of memory, an ambitious young chef has never been afraid to do something new.

  • Shape of Success

  • Venture Capital

I explore thoughts about culture, identity, and self, along with sharing a laundry list of whatever I’m cooking, reading, listening to, and obsessing over at the moment.

In previous issues, I’ve laid down some opinions about hair, had breakthroughs about flirting, and examined the pandemic’s effect on personal style.
