I’m a content designer and writer, living and working in San Francisco.

I also co-host a podcast about pencils, and edit a zine about UX writing and poetry.

I've worked on content design teams at companies like Microsoft, Cruise, Adobe and Facebook, solving language and information architecture problems on the web and in apps. (Check out my résumé if you want to read more.) Currently I’m the sole content designer at Glean.

In 2020, I published a book that I co-wrote with Michael Metts about UX writing called Writing is Designing: Words and the User Experience.

Check out ⁂ asterisms, a new personal blogging project for 2025 I’m excited about.
