I help people tell stories, deepen connections, and find creative solutions.

Currently, I am a senior content designer on the product team at eBay, a freelance dramaturg, and a graduate student.

In the past, I have led marketing teams for Blink, an award-winning UX research and design firm; City Arts magazine; Encore Media Group; and the National Nordic Museum. I frequently partner with Form Design Studio in Seattle on strategy and copywriting for culture and commerce.

In every context, I advocate for stories and the people who drive them. I am the co-founder and director of dramaturgy for Umbrella Project, an organization that develops new plays and supports playwrights in the Pacific Northwest. As a theatre artist, I have served as a dramaturg, research assistant, associate director, and company member. I am an associate artist with ARTBARN and a member of Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas (LMDA).

I graduated with honors from the BXA program at Carnegie Mellon University, and I just finished my Master’s degree in communication at the University of Washington.

I live and work on the traditional land of the Coast Salish people, including the Duwamish people past and present. If you, like me, are interested in contributing to the Duwamish Tribe directly, set up a recurring donation at realrentduwamish.com.
