About —
I am a writer based in Brooklyn who is also the creative director at design gallery Colony. More rarely, I’m an adjunct professor at Parsons School of Design. My writing explores how the built environment shapes and reflects our interior lives. I hold an MFA in creative writing from Hunter College, where I was awarded a Sainsbury Research Fellowship with author Ed Park. This fall I will focus on aesthetics and poetic experimentation as one of twelve 2026/2027 FIELDNOTES Associates.
My writing has been published in Wrong House, Upstate Woman and Design Milk and I have forthcoming fiction in 3:AM Magazine. Read more at Design in Verse, my newsletter on the dialogue between literature and design.
