I’m a writer, editor, and digital strategist who helps publications and organizations connect with audiences in meaningful ways.
As a journalist, I’ve covered urbanism, transportation, housing, and culture. I love writing about complicated issues in public policy, including plastic bag bans, net neutrality, and housing affordability. I’ve also had a blast writing about the best part of biking to work, the “generic skyline” problem, how “Sim City” grew up, and the long history of predicting Moore’s Law’s demise.

My Experience
I have over a decade of experience in media, including at The Atlantic, Politico, and the New Statesman Media Group.
At The Atlantic’s CityLab, I led newsletters, audience strategy, and lifestyle coverage. As the founding managing editor of City Monitor, I coordinated a launch package of traffic-generating evergreen features that established our SEO authority. At Replica, I led brand messaging, copywriting, product launch communications, public-sector RFP responses, newsletters, and blog publishing.
All told, I've been an editorial director, managing editor, lifestyle editor, newsletter editor, reporter, and digital producer. Today, I help clients publish compelling stories, establish online presences, develop audience strategies, and grow effective newsletter operations.
Most of all, I love diving into wonky, insightful, and creative work that changes how people see the world.
