communications strategist · writer · artist

This is a portfolio of work across the whole communications stack, from policy research to campaign strategy, opinion writing and journalism, creative and motion design, golden hour photography, and a painting practice built from dots, lines, and stars. I like to think I am one creative intelligence working across many varied mediums.
