“Learn the rules like a pro so you can break them like an artist.”

— Pablo Picasso (allegedly)

Whether I am editing a book, writing a blog, drafting an email, or designing a social media post (or anything outside or in between), I approach the project with the same scrutinizing eye and independent spirit. As a Harvard-educated former book editor, I know how to speak effectively to authority; at the same time, as a trans-identified organizer and sometime-activist, I also recognize when it is mission-critical to break the status quo. Whether you’re a non-profit speaking to funders, a high school student applying to colleges, or an author trying to craft the next bestseller, I can help you walk the line between rule and rebellion.
