The work in this portfolio spans journalism, museum exhibit writing, historical interpretation, public art, and institutional communications. The common thread: every project started with something dense, technical, or unfamiliar and ended with content that connected audiences to something they didn’t expect to find, a personal connection they didn’t know was there.
