About

A little about me.

I spend my day working in advertising — building campaigns, chasing ideas, and figuring out what resonates. Outside of work, my life revolves around my family and my dog Rosey, who is objectively the cutest pup.

I started this corner of the internet to write more, think out loud, and collect the things I love — books, restaurants, products, podcasts — from the people I trust most.
