I am a compulsive maker of things, stories, and stories about things. Making is a way of paying attention. The quality of the work reflects the quality of life.

An award-winning playwright, essayist and screenwriter, my writing—including the viral digital series Unicornland—has been seen on the internet, in print, and in theaters in London, NYC and LA. Themes include the female experience, the lens of third culture, and socio-political upheaval.

In addition to writing, I also sew custom-tailored garments, bake ridiculous (secretly gf) cakes, dream up elaborately theatrical children’s parties, and run ops for a browser-based multiplayer gaming startup.
