About —
I am a writer who spends much of my time preoccupied with objects: I have worked in New York’s collectible design world as Colony’s art director for over a decade. More rarely, I’m an adjunct professor at Parsons School of Design. 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.
p.s. I’d love to see you over at Design in Verse, my newsletter on the dialogue between literature and design.
