Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my website. I started it as a portfolio where prospective clients could see my work and get to know me and I still want it to serve that purpose. But I also want it to serve as a creative and experimental space where I can share my enthusiasm for research, writing and editing.

If you have an idea about something I can do for you or a project where we could collaborate, please contact me. I’d love to hear about it.
