i enjoy writing, and, have done a good amount of it. towards what end? in most cases, i have an idea itching at my brain and find the time, usually over the span of days instead of hours, to get it onto paper. or, metaphorical paper in some cases.    
  



“i write entirely to find out what i’m thinking, what i’m looking at, what i see and what it means. What i want and what i fear.”¹


                 
                               i’ve written online back to the early days of myspace and livejournal – now lost to the internet. over the last decade, i’ve published mostly on medium².                         
                               writing through conversation has also been a joy, like chatting with young people who are doing incredible work³ or being interviewed about designing effective mental health tools⁴. these, as you might expect, are more work focused efforts and as of late the majority of my writing muse. 

                               my work has also been quoted in books⁵, used in coursework⁶, and fodder for product development⁷.
