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



I love digging into the dynamic 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 pop music.

My distinct POV on hyper-accelerated trend cycles, compensatory consumption, and consumer behavior stems from my fashion education and professional experience as a brand architect, strategist, and cultural anthropologist.



I read, write, host, present, interview, curate, and archive, and I'm always looking for creative partners. I also teach fitness classes, dance, and sing, which is fun!!

Tap me for live shows & readings, talks, editorial content, playlisting, music videos, and anything else you can dream up. If it's fun, a bit nostalgic, or slightly off-center, I’m all ears.

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

I never stop talking about...
