Indie AuthorField Notes WriterDesigner Since 2017Full-Time Digital NomadAssistant to a Cat Named Whiskey
Essentially, I’m the friend who has read the advice, written the books, and run out of patience for performative struggle. I write about the work of writing, and I design the tools I wish someone had handed me.
I live and work as a digital nomad, I write across pen names and genres, and I have been designing for writers since 2017. The Field Notes are where I say the uncomfortable thing plainly.
