Podcast Producer & Creative Collaborator

Design taught me how people feel what they see.
Podcasting taught me how they see what they hear.

I take something complex and meaningful, help others find their clearest voice, and shape it until the result feels obvious. Six years in narrative podcast production, a decade before that as an art director. Based in Needham, MA. I'm looking for someone doing something meaningful who needs a creative partner to help it land. If that's you, let's talk.
