About
I’m a linguist and copywriter focused on storytelling, meaning-making, and human choice. My work weds UX writing, language strategy, and cultural analysis, with particular interests in film, design, and narrative structure.
I value clarity, good design, and writing with noetic character. As Shakespeare said, brevity is the soul of wit (& that guy knew his way around a quill).
Trained in applied linguistics and TESOL, I approach language as a system that shapes how people interpret meaning + identify membership. I’m particularly interested in how linguistic framing affects advertency and behavior across media and experiences.

Philosophy
I am interested in how people make meaning in the digital age. My work explores how low tech + design affect perception, access, + human behavior in varying digital + narrative environments. Using discourse analysis, corpus methods, and communication research, I focus on making complex systems more legible, accessible, and human-centered.
