Herder of cats and projects. Translator of square pegs into round holes.
As a humanist and designer, I create digital publications and projects where form is informed by content, a term called critical making. My passion is collaborative projects that find new frameworks and modalities to tell their stories, whether it’s through an immersive archive or grant narrative.
I started my career as a humanist among computer scientists and engineers thinking about what “place,” “space” and “history” meant in digital projects. I’ve since worked in positions that translate between disciplines: an instructor of engineering history to engineers, a digital consultant for grant projects, and, currently, a director and digital developer for an innovative publishing lab.
As a freelance designer for punctum books, I applied my translation skills to create intricate, freely-accessible digital publications that were companions, rather than replacements, for print and ebook editions.
Currently, my freelance work is community-based and purpose-driven. You can see what I’m working on at my day job with the Athenaeum Press at Coastal Carolina University.
About Me
My spouse, child, and animal companions live in Conway, South Carolina, where we hike, eat, and discover the rapidly evolving coastal South. I’m an amateur genealogist, personal archivist, and sometimes gardener and baker.
