For more than two decades, I've created stories about how technology augments human ingenuity. Through my creative and scholarly practices in the visual arts, art history and classics, I bring a distinctive perspective to writing about technology's evolving role in business and society.
My study of visual culture and art history enriches how I craft stories for leading technology companies. Working with technical and business teams across varied industries—from healthcare and manufacturing to defense and retail—I translate complex ideas into clear, resonant narratives that speak to diverse audiences.
My storytelling work spans customer success stories, thought leadership narratives, and strategic content development across diverse sectors from agriculture to defense, education to fintech, healthcare to manufacturing. Through articles, blogs, case studies, ebooks, video scripts and web copy, I help companies articulate their vision and deliver on strategic objectives.
Let's explore how I can help bring your organization's stories to life. Contact me to start a conversation about your next project.
