Journalism

I dissect pop culture, interview creators, and report live from media events.

I got my start as a games journalist after I snuck into the former video game industry tradeshow E3, then wrote about my experience. Surprisingly to me, that story got reblogged thousands of times. So I wrote another story, and another, and another…

I’ve since accumulated over 100 professional bylines, mostly around the culture of gaming. My stories and interviews have been published on websites such as Polygon, Kotaku, and Nintendo Life, among others.

(Yeah, I still write articles using just my brain.)
