Creative thinking & writing

I make an effort to do things I love doing, because it works out well that way. What I love to do generally includes: thinking hard about complicated stories, about how to adequately tell them, and then communicating them in such a way that others are enabled to meaningfully translate them into action.

I shun away from specialization and make an effort to try new things, even if they seem a little random. This keeps me fresh and inspired. My mixed professional background reflects this: over the years, I have worked in academia and international development assistance -- and more recently, in the cultural creative industry.
