Writing & Editing
Writing and editing have been a big part of my professional career since 2006.
My recent writing has focused on creative projects (e.g. the poetry on this website), or internal communications for several organizations.
Here are a few public samples:
Video
I have been playing with video creation and editing since I began recording my poems in 2018.
Here are some examples of the different flavors of my videos.
Meme-video for Instagram:
Modern, shareable, heartfelt
Walk Us Home video:
Intimate & emotionally-evocative
Note: Be prepared that this video deals with the aftermath of suicide.
Branded VLOG opening sequence:
Upbeat, fun, branded
Note: This is an opening sequence created for the VLOG of the organization named in the video.
Fall Apart video:
Hand-drawn narrative style,
Informal & warm
Design
In 2021, I began working on design projects like logos and online ads.
Please visit my Behance page to see examples of my work.
Product Creation & Testing
Since I started my first startup (Sutro) in 2013, I have been prototyping, testing, refining and creating strategy for products / projects.
I created and tested hardware devices (Sutro) and wearables (Beana), the feature-set & pricing best for insurance customers (Converge Industries), an event business offering (Midweek Ecstatic Dance, SF), and a waste reduction plan (Rally Health).
Research & Analytics
I began my career as an analyst for the federal government in 2006.
Over the years, I have continued to work on research and analysis projects as: a reporter, startup co-founder, business development professional, and nonprofit manager.
Most recently, I have led the financial feasibility inquiry for an annual Traditional Ecological Knowledge gathering, and market research for a confidential health-tech innovation project.
