Writing

My writing has been featured on Huffington Post, Fusion, Complex,  Medium, Thought Catalog, GOOD, Teen Vogue, The Liberty Project, and SF Weekly. I started blogging back when Xanga was still a thing and have been sharing my life online in various capacities for almost a decade. I’ve had at least 6 different blogs over the years, and I’ve written thousands of my most honest thoughts across various websites and media. If you’re interested in my past articles, click here.

Design

In 2009, I started Shatterboxx, a boutique creative agency, and have worked with clients such as Bed Bath & Beyond, The Bloggess, Erica Jong, Marie Forleo, Penguin Books, and various others. My primary focus is in designing bold, beautiful brands and creative consulting. Right now, I am only taking on select clients.

Other Projects

In 2009, I was on CNN Live and featured in Fortune for creating a viral website called Twitter Should Hire Me (they didn’t hire me). In 2013, I co-created an online branding course called Brandgasm 101 with copywriter and creative genius Ash Ambirge. In 2014, I built an iOS app called Paper’d that was downloaded over 100,000 times in the first week and a half. From May 2014-May 2015, I was a Senior Writer for Thought Catalog where my writing was read by over 21 million people in just a year.
