I’m a podcast producer and artist from Williamsburg Virginia. I’m most known as the co-creator of Slate’s Decoder Ring (one of The New York Times best podcasts of 2023), and as a senior producer on Prologue Projects, Audible, and Wondery’s Think Twice: Michael Jackson (The New Yorker’s #1 podcast of 2023). I specialize in arts and culture documentary work, but I also have experience on roundtable, criticism, comedy, and history shows like Celebrity Book Club with Steven and Lily, Slate’s Culture Gabfest, Hit Parade, Working, and more. My work has also appeared on 99% Invisible, NPR, Love+Radio, and KCRW's Un-Fictional.
As an illustrator and cartoonist, I’m the author of The Fun Family, a graphic novel published by Top Shelf Comics, which was official selection of the Angoulême International Comics festival in 2017. I’m also the cover illustrator for the ASME award-winning Stranger’s Guide magazine.
I’m currently freelance, and accepting clients for general consulting, editing, reporting and production work. I’m good at helping out on anything you might need podcast-wise, even if you don’t know what that is yet! I’m also open to editorial illustration and cartooning work.
