Writing has long been a cathartic outlet for me to clear my head and make sense of the world. I love exploring a wide range of topics, from freelancing in game audio, to society's relationships with data and consumption, to unexpected life lessons from eclectic places. My work has appeared on sites like minimalism.com and gamedeveloper.com, but mostly on Medium, where I've been writing into the void with glee. Many of those articles have been curated into self-published books, which you can find below.
What if eating well wasn't about buying solutions or following a one-size-fits-all approach?
Unfill is a collection of personal essays on how minimalism helped me reimagine my relationship with food. Not through fad diets, apps, and rigid restrictions, but by slowing down, simplifying, and embracing a quality-over-quantity mindset. This book doesn't offer quick fixes or simple solutions. Instead, it asks you to consider a values-based approach; one that steps away from the noise and cultivates a food philosophy that truly fits your life.
Sometimes, insights can reveal themselves when we pause from our routines to see the ordinary a little differently.
Brain Dawdling is a collection of essays exploring how meandering, dawdling, and paying attention to everyday stuff can reveal some wonderful insights about our lives. From the helpfulness of rubber ducks to the life lessons buried in accounting, video games, 90s sci-fi, statistics, and more. This book is a reminder that lessons aren’t always found in grandiose ways, but in the quiet and often overlooked details of the everyday.
