Apparently, I have a lot to say.
I've been making things on the internet since 2010, which means there's a surprisingly long trail of interviews, articles, podcast conversations, and the occasional artifact rescued from the Wayback Machine behind me.
Over the years, I've been asked to talk about everything from digital archives and technology to entrepreneurship, systems, intuition, creativity, media, and the creator economy. The vocabulary has changed as my work has evolved, but the thread running through it really hasn't: I'm interested in how humans make sense of complicated things, how we build systems that actually work for the people using them, and how good ideas become something other people can see, understand, and act on.
Most recently, that work has centered on Sasquatch Media Grounds and the future of human-made media in a world where producing more “content” has never been easier. In 2026, B Lab U.S. & Canada featured me and Sasquatch Media Grounds as part of its Level cohort of women of color building impact-driven businesses, while SCORE Portland / SW Washington told the story of how a half-formed idea for a better kind of recording studio turned into an entire media ecosystem.
And because I am both an information professional and an internet dinosaur, I've kept some of the older receipts too.
Want me on your show?
I'm always interested in conversations with hosts who like curious people, useful ideas, unexpected connections, and guests who are willing to have an actual conversation instead of reciting the same six talking points they've given to twelve other podcasts.
These days, I'm especially interested in talking about the creator economy, AI and human source material, why so much business content has become painfully boring, building media that actually does a job, visibility without chasing fame, and what more than fifteen years on the internet has taught me about surviving whatever supposedly changes everything next.
If that sounds like your kind of conversation, I'd love to hear what you're making.
Here are a few places I've turned up over the years.

Podcast Appearances
Give me a microphone and apparently we're going somewhere.
Some of my favorite conversations happen when there isn't a perfectly straight line between the first question and the last one. I've joined hosts to talk about business systems, technology, visibility, leadership, creativity, intuition, media, and what I've learned from repeatedly building businesses at the intersection of things people insist belong in separate boxes.
Below are selected conversations from across those different eras of my work. Some are tactical, some are philosophical, and a few turned into conversations neither the host nor I could have predicted when we hit record.
