Who I Am.

A Little About Myself.

As it says at the top, I’m a writer and urbanist.

Releasing my debut novel in 2012, I've been writing ever since – penning three novels, several academic and popular articles, and most recently working on award-winning and in-development plays.

I'm also an emerging urbanist with a Master of Science in Planning from the University of Toronto and work on various planning and public engagement projects around urbanism, city-building, and culture.

Writing and urbanism aside, I love curating niche playlists, exploring forest trails, and playing my electric guitar. I also work on creative projects in a variety of media, having delved into website and graphic design, short film production, and the world of podcasting.

Always a work in progress, I strive to try my hand at everything.

Projects.

I’m always doing something new, diving into random projects that might never see the light of day – like the times I tried podcasting, created an extensive fan site, or spent months building a search engine (yes, really). But hey, some of them actually manage to sneak out into the world!
