Projects
An ongoing investigation into moments that imbue the spirit of childhood. Very close to my heart.

Writing
An ode to the stories and worlds we make, the worlds and stories that make us, I hope. On gift economies, decentralized storytelling, and my life-long belief that everything is a story we choose to tell ourselves.
Edited and re-worked our co-interview on the essences, the universality, and the sanctity of childhood.
"Over the last year, I’ve really been thinking about the absolutes of childhood. There’s this depth— not only in joy but in everything. Because when you’re a kid, every feeling is impossible and endless. It becomes your truth. It becomes your sky. And to me that may be the singular, largest indicator of childhood. Maybe the only universal part. We don’t yet understand intangibility, so we’re becoming what we feel. I am often reminded that childhood is not only the wonder and the joy and the play; it’s also when we're experiencing the world for the first time. So all the pain we feel is in color."
