Arrow pointing right

Since 2018, I’ve been a creative executive with a focus on brand strategy and lifecycle marketing. At Naked & Thriving, I lead a team of designers, copywriters, and video editors in collaboration with performance teams to create moments of connection with customers throughout their entire journey, from when they first learn about N&T through advocacy.

In addition to my work as a creative executive, I wrote the graphic memoir And Now I Spill the Family Secrets (HarperOne 2021). It was selected for the Belletrist Book Club and received starred reviews from Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, and others. My second graphic memoir, A Brief History of My Affairs, will be published with Pantheon around 2027. My writing has appeared in magazines like Creative Nonfiction, The Believer, LitHub, Ecotone, and elsewhere. I’ve been in residence at Yaddo and MacDowell.

As an illustrator, I’ve worked with clients like Macy’s, Marks & Spencer, Boston Globe, Little, Brown, Simon & Schuster, Diageo, Ogilvy, Random House, and many others.

Born in Connecticut, I’m married to the fiction writer Christian Moody and we live with our kids in Indianapolis.
