Welcome to my website! I'm a freelance journalist who covers cities, public policy, and occasionally, arts and culture. I've worked as a staff writer at the San Francisco Examiner, SF Weekly and CityLab, where I helped create the CityLab University series. My freelance work has appeared in the Nation, Slate, MIT Technology Review, Architectural Digest, The Baffler, Fast Company and other publications. I also write on Substack.
I'm currently working on a book project that seeks to provide an accessible introduction to urban planning in America. I'm open to freelance commissions, as well. Feel free to get in touch!
