Story is my chosen art and science, and I practice it from every angle.

In a career that began in wellness in New York, then moved into emerging media in San Francisco, and ultimately expanded across industries in Los Angeles, I’ve built a purposely diverse toolkit for sharing complex ideas with vivid cohesion.

Over the last 15 years, I’ve developed voice and narrative for brands across tech, lifestyle, wellness, entertainment, design, and education. I’ve led communication and content across channels, mediums, and genres, directed multimedia campaigns with multidisciplinary teams, and crafted identity-shaping copy for lots of visionary brands.

As a chameleonic systems thinker, I keep it sharp and loose. I’ve fine-tuned my ability to synthesize complication into energizing clarity and blend dissonance into dynamic harmony. I speak Shakespeare and sketch comedy, poetry and pop culture, metaphor and meme.

I currently head up Ecstatic Voice, a communication studio and voice lab in LA. I teach thought leaders to amplify their voices in the EV Lab, train MBA teams to translate innovation at the Rady School, and write The Ecstatic Review on Substack.

I grew up crossing the bridges of the Bay Area and have been connecting the dots ever since.
