I'm all aflutter to share my interview in Bystander Magazine with you!
This artist profile covers everything from current projects I'm working on to my opinions on music, writer's block, and the devil himself. Such normal topics for me! Enjoy!

Hello hello! I'm excited to share this interview I did with Brit + Co about "On Mornings".
"On Mornings" is a nonfiction writing project all about the small, exquisite mysteries of our morning routines and habits. It is being created in partnership with HITRECORD and Medium. Check out the article to learn more about how it's developing.
“‘What we’re really looking for in terms of the storytelling is vivid, detailed writing,’ says Evyn Williams, the resident director and editor of On Mornings. ‘We want these stories to really bring us into the morning with you. We want to hear the details of what you do and why you do it.’
Where did those chips on your favorite coffee mug come from? Why do you eat your cereal out of a certain bowl? When do you usually leave the house — and when do you actually need to leave the house? These are the details that Williams and her team are looking for — but they want you to get into the nittiest, grittiest minutiae.”
Here is a little more about the project, from hitrecord.org:

I love textiles and paper goods and all things wonderfully tangible.
So, naturally, I love business cards.
These are the first ones I've carried that are not tied to a specific job or role, but are just for me -- my writing, my filmmaking. I love having something tangible to exchange with other artists. I'll give you one next time I see ya!

Just came back from a long trip to Seattle. It was a time to settle, see family, and work on projects old and new.
I took a shot of the bedroom where I woke up, at my parent's house in Seattle, and a shot of the bedroom where I went to sleep, back in Brooklyn.
As routine as it's become, there is always a bit of magic for me, waking up on one coast and falling asleep on another.
