Story is my chosen art and science, and I practice it from every angle.
Over the last 15 years, I’ve developed a purposely diverse body of work dedicated to defining, shaping, and amplifying bold voices and visionary brands.
I’ve sharpened my skills by creating across channels for an audience of 1B in Disney’s in-house media lab, launching Forbes into the podcast space, taking multiple LA brands global, and rolling up my sleeves every week in the fast-paced writers room at The Groundlings.
I’m a language chameleon fluent in Shakespeare and sketch comedy, pop culture and poetry, metaphor and meme, a systems thinker who translates complexity for fun, and a rallying engine who goes all in.
I currently head up Ecstatic Voice, a communication studio and voice lab that crafts language for cohesion and change. Outside of EV, I train executives and data scientists to communicate AI-forward projects at UC San Diego’s Rady School of Management and write The Ecstatic Review on Substack.
I grew up crossing the bridges of the Bay Area and have been connecting the dots ever since.
