I’m a strategist at Mother

I work on projects that inspire and organize young creative people, like @ifweranit

Work: I have been a community organizer for the Democratic Party, an experience producer at Cunning and a culture and technology strategist at McCann Erickson.

Life: I get pumped about social enterprise, people-powered social change, VOGUE dramatics, EPCOT Center, Japanese animation, hot mess and glitter.

This Tumblr page features a whole bunch of nonsense and optimism I am collecting for your and my enlightenment and enjoyment.
