Writing

Otherworld

I developed an overarching narrative for Otherworld in collaboration with artists, engineers, and an operations director. In communication with these teams, I wove story elements and puzzles into the interactive experience of the 32,000 sq. ft. interactive installation. | Time Magazine’s World’s Coolest Places 2019

Dustbowl Children

This essay follows a cross-country Greyhound trip in the middle of a record-setting snowstorm. It was anthologized in a collection called The Year through Texas literary publication Crack the Spine.

Out of Love

This (decidedly love-free) poem was accepted in Carnegie Mellon University’s Oakland Review | Fall 2023 Edition

Cheyenne Smith

This glimpse of a single moment of human rawness at a bus station in Georgia is 95% true. It found inspiring company in the summer ’21 journal from Corpus Callosum Press.

Magic

This short exploration of the ephemeral made its way into a publication from Rubbertop Review out of the University of Akron in Ohio.

Rocked!

This collaboration with Trapped Columbus served as an introduction to writing for the interactive space. I wrote, pitched, and sold the script before going on to act and manage other actors in this escape room experience about a punk rock band at risk of missing their biggest gig to date.
