I'm a journalist covering photography, art and visual culture.
Right now, you'll find my work mostly at WIRED, but I've also written for various publications including The Guardian, The Atlantic, Dwell, Hyperallergic and Texas Monthly.
When I'm not writing, I'm most likely hanging out with my daughter Iris and husband Nathan, making a Great British Bake Off-inspired mess in my kitchen, or curled up with a good book.
