I'm an accomplished writer, editor, and content creator with a portfolio built on rich storytelling and transformative strategy. From a Fortune 100 telecom to a Sonoma County family winery, I’ve helped a wide variety of brands find their voices and connect with audiences of millions worldwide.
My adventures in brand storytelling began in a dusty basement archive, where I drew the art world's attention to the works of a notorious beefcake photographer. Once out of the stacks, I pursued a job in journalism, eventually cresting the masthead at Verizon Media’s Engadget. As Editor-in-Chief, I transformed a tech blog into a global newsroom, reaching millions of new readers with award-winning reporting and a multimedia rebrand.
I’ve since transferred my energy to telling brand stories full-time. In 2018, I co-founded The Grass Agency, where I developed content and strategies that generated real change for organizations across technology, hospitality, and the arts . Under my guidance, our clients consistently reached viral peaks with millions of views and growth records of 20% plus .
