Warning: Author Profile may contain traces of nuts.

As a story doula, I'm usually behind-the-scenes, developing concepts and products for publishers and producers.

 Little by little, however, I'm stepping out and putting my name in the indelible ink of the internet as an honest-to-goodness "writer." (Thanks, Mrs. Caswell!)

I've a heart for both meaning and mischief, a fondness for collaboration, and am apparently well-suited for content creation across multiple media, be it electrons or tree guts.

Recent work includes character backstories for Laika Studios for purposes of ancillary products and brand extensions, book development for Make A Wish Foundation, and ghost-writing for clients with platforms on Broadway and the not-for-profit space.

Clients have included Dreamworks Animation, Ubisoft World Studios, Glenat Editions, and several writers/producers with original IP in development, including: Mark Ordesky (producer, Lord of the Rings), Bruce Hendricks (producer, Pirates of the Caribbean), Preston Holmes (producer, Malcolm X), Sidney Clifton (producer, Black Panther mini-series), Al Edgington (producer, Amazing Race), and Steven Seagal (um, yep).


Big Dream: To produce a stop-motion Holiday Special paying homage to my childhood heroes, Arthur Rankin Jr., Jules Bass, Henry Selick and Terry Gilliam. Got somethin'? Let's mash neurons and see what sparks! ;)
