Story-Building, Renovation, and Design

As an author, an artist, an editor, a writing teacher, and a content creator, everything I do boils down to storytelling.

My talents lie in discerning what’s at the heart of even the most complex characters and narratives and figuring out how to most effectively transmit that story.

Current Project – Precious Things, 2026

The Eaton Fire of 2025 leveled our house—along with our entire Altadena neighborhood. I made a pop-up book wherein objects I found in the rubble literally rise from the rubble on the page.
