WHY HIRE ME FOR WRITING PROJECTS AND COLLABORATIONS:
I synthesize large volumes of complex material to craft direct, compelling narrative. Infrastructure, sustainable development, technology and art are my home turf. Whether I'm working with a writer or leading a public conversation, I focus on inclusion and getting the message delivered.
MY BACKGROUND:
I am a communications consultant at the World Bank Group. I hold a PhD in the History of Art from Yale University, and have taught the history of cities and parks at the University of Chicago, the University of Toronto, and Tufts University. I have consulted on public art projects in Boston and Ottawa, and hav been a contributor to Design Observer since 2014.
