I'm a writer who explores how pop culture, media, and technology impact individual and collective identity.



I love digging into the dynamics between culture, commerce, memory, time, and meaning. Talk to me about physical media, the Diffusion of Innovations, aesthetic labor & relativism, media ephemerality, nostalgia marketing, anemoia, and retail music.

My distinct POV on hyper-accelerated trend cycles, compensatory consumption, and consumer behavior stems from my education and experience in the fashion industry.



I write, host, present, design, curate, research, archive, and choreograph, and am always looking for creative partners. Tap me for editorial, essays, live shows, readings, talks, print media archiving, playlisting, and anything else you can dream up. If it's fun, a bit nostalgic, or even slightly off-center, I’m all ears.

I write the leading Substack newsletter on offbeat, obscure, and niche pop culture. For deep conversations about superficial things, subscribe here.

I never stop talking about...

I ♡ dance and teach pop culture-themed fitness classes. Check out my IRL & live-stream schedule here!
