Professional Experience
A strong writer and editor with vast new media experience, I am most interested in writing about people - particularly creative people. I have written profiles of street artists, fashion designers, musicians and more. My success in this arena is driven by my ability to listen and to see, to ask the right questions and to respect the humanity of my subjects.
