author title Senior WriterFor 20 years, I've explored the intersection of design and technology. My interest deepened during my tenure as senior copy director at Conde Nast where I wrote across titles, including Wired. I later covered business and digital innovations for Forbes and The Atlantic Re:think.
My expertise is in user experience and the changing ways we define that. Writing stories allows me to dive deep into human:computer interaction, accessibility, artificial intelligence and the future of UX.
I gather words day and night. My off-duty poetry has led me to readings and residencies, including the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.
