Who I Am and What I Do
I am a transmodern renaissance soul and social entrepreneur with a performing arts background, a lifetime passion for storytelling, and an academic interest in transdisciplinary studies at the intersection of philosophy, technology, and creativity.
I write about personal growth, lifestyle design, conscious commerce, holistic wellness, social change, and deliberate wandering, among other topics. I am interested in cultivating autonomy, vitality, and identity while pursuing authenticity and transparency in all areas of life, work, and play. I also have an exponentially growing passion for leading a minimalist existence.
For as long as I can remember, I have had an enduring fondness for travel literature, particularly narratives that recount inner and outer journeys in tandem. For more reasons than I can recall, these stories keep the spark in my spirit and continue to provide fuel for my greatest passions in life.
Since leaving my home town, I have traveled in 12 countries and 26 states. I have lived in Tucson, Tallahassee, Paris, New York, Los Angeles, and Atlanta, respectively, with a few detours back to Iowa sprinkled in for good measure. A native of rural Iowa cultivating a location independent lifestyle, my home is wherever I hang my satchel.
I created my first website in 1996, and I have been doing website design, development, copywriting, branding, communication, and social media consulting for ten years. I am also an editor and proofreader, and I spent several years as a freelance language tutor.
My academic background lies largely within humanities, but I also taught myself coding, scripting, and server administration. I have a BA in International Affairs and French and a self-designed MA in Interdisciplinary Studies in English, Photography, and Design. I read and write in both English and French.
I now focus primarily on narrative storytelling, using words and images as a conduit for social progress and human evolution.
