Bio

Hi, thanks for reading this paragraph. And this sentence fragment. You probably fall into one of three audiences: 1. Those who are hiring 2. Acquaintances who want a LinkedIn overview 3. Those who know me and want to know what I’m up to For the first group: My marketing work mostly involves product and content marketing. Because I think visually and verbally, I enjoy pairing the indirect “moonlight” of visuals with the direct “sunlight” of words. I obsess over the problem of being understood and love bringing creative clarity to communications. For the second group: I’ve worked in marketing for software companies for the past few years. My big thing is using classics and the humanities to make the particulars of business and tech more comprehensible. I write a lot, but I’ve also worked as a professional illustrator. I mainly illustrate kids books like the Green Ember Series, and have worked for Simon and Schuster, Harper Collins, and Hyperion. I also do editorial work from time to time and have worked for the Weekly Standard, and Cobblestone Magazine, and the American History Guild. I speak in public a fair amount and have given talks about story and persuasion in New Zealand, Australia, Amsterdam, Madrid, and here in the States. For the third: Howdy! What are you up to? Send me a message. Professional Skills Communication: Writing/ Speaking/ Illustrating/ Teaching Media: Proficient in Photoshop and Adobe Audition. Reasonably well-versed in Adobe Character Animator. Dabble in After Effects and know my way around Powerpoint.
