“Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it.”— HANNAH ARENDT
i write a newsletter called velvet noise, about yearning, desire, and the small religions we build to stay alive.
i’m a narrative strategist — i help people find the language for the work they’re already doing. mostly that’s the part hardest to name.
storytelling is not just telling the story
a field guide to jobs, cold emails, and making yourself legible to the right people
we tell ourselves stories in order to live
how the world becomes more detailed
when reflection gets in the way of living
on creative life, work and why friction matters
on modern friendship and staying close as life widens
everything drifts toward decay, except what we pay attention to.
there are some people who glow
i help founders, artists, and operators find the language for the work they’re already doing. mostly: narrative strategy, voice, positioning, the words.
a deep read of everything you've written and said. you leave with a map of your voice and the gaps in it.
we figure out who you are on the page. founder bio, manifesto, the things you keep meaning to write.
monthly retainer. drafts, edits, a person to think out loud with about anything that needs to be said.
for teams who want to write better, together. small groups, no slides, lots of pages.
