I’ve been an editor for more than a decade, shaping stories at the intersection of culture, science, and design. As Editorial Director at Document Journal and editor-at-large at Beyond Noise, I’ve worked with writers across levels of experience—from first-time contributors to established critics—to refine their ideas, structure, and voice. I also edit research manuscripts for science journals, supporting academics in bringing technical work to a global audience.
