Writing
I write across the fields I practice: essays, philosophy, and fiction. The essays draw from direct experience in the disciplines I work in. The philosophy is independent in spirit. The fiction explores original ideas as inspired works or for development of original IP.
My writing is often live and evolving, refined over time until I choose to publish it in its current state across various platforms. Published versions reflect where a piece stands at that moment, not necessarily its final form.
