I'm a communication strategist specializing in communications design, content strategy, and interactive engagement for businesses and nonprofits.
I began designing websites and web applications in 1994. The work united my training in visual design and data scripting with the challenge of creating good user experience in a new medium. Over time, my practice expanded to integrated communications, and I worked as a member of creative teams to design online solutions for research, publishing, commerce, and collaboration. I've been a frequent lecturer on communications design, integrated marketing, social media, e-commerce, and web analytics.
More recently, my professional focus is editorial and content strategy, and I'm as likely to be found authoring communications materials as developing the appropriate channels for their use. This is partly because publishing is now a write-once, read-everywhere affair, but also because I've developed my skills as a writer and editor, and given primacy to the clear expression of ideas.
Personally, I'm a nonfiction essayist curious about nature, culture, food, and place. I'm also an experienced cook and gardener, passionate about growing, preparing, and sharing beautiful food.
