My mind is endlessly curious and obsessed with story. I’ve written four quirky, deeply-researched nonfiction books, most recently Big Crone Energy: A Love Letter to Fierce Elders (W.W. Norton, 2027). As a speaker, I bring that same curiosity to stages and classrooms — talks on science writing, game design, and the art of participation, including a TEDx talk on the patient experience. As a participation designer, I create art and collaborate with clients like the Kennedy Center and Peabody Essex Museum on unique in-person experiences that turn audiences into participants.
