About me
I’m a writer, and I live and work in San Francisco.
I started my career on the editorial team at NewCo, a media startup. I wrote stories about the collision between technology and politics (like this one) and the rise of “mission-driven” businesses.
I then joined 3DR, a drone technology startup, and led our content strategy efforts. We launched a brand new publication and newsletter, told great customer and product launch stories, and our product was eventually acquired by Esri.
Today, I‘m a product marketer and writer at Samsara, focusing on launching new products and making them easy for our customers to understand and use. This comes in many forms: in-product onboarding and tooltips, email and web copy, blog posts, and more.
Resumé
Other stuff
I occasionally write a newsletter that covers the story of how capitalism is changing (for better or worse).
I work with the fine folks at U.S. Digital Response helping bring pro bono technology support to governments and the social sector.
