Working as a marketer, copywriter, and healthcare co-founder, I’ve written a lot in the last several years. I am proud of this writing. It got results and showcased my clients’ amazing work. But I’ve also missed having a place to share ideas or examine questions for their own sake.
That’s what this site is for. I plan to explore a range of topics such as artistry, technology, and the craft of being human. To share what I’m learning in the hope others may find it useful. And to pass on other writing/work I find interesting. Check out the about page for a bit more.
And if you’re wondering:
What’s with all the birds?
The short answer is, “Why not?” They’re fun. :) Audubon’s bird illustrations are beautiful too.
The longer answer goes back several years. My office at the time looked out at a big oak tree. And one spring I saw a bunch of tiny birds flying around I hadn’t noticed before. What were they, I wondered? (Migrating warblers as it turned out.)
When I was growing up in Kenya, my mom had always logged the birds we saw (using an actual hardback bird book). But that was in Kenya. And Kenya, as I’m sure you know, has way more interesting birds.
But seeing these little warblers got me curious. I started pulling up Merlin1 on my phone more often while out walking. And I began actively looking for birds in my area and trying to identify them. Turns out, there are a lot of cool birds in Chicago too (especially in spring and fall during migration).
It’s fun watching them. They help me pay closer attention to the world. And my youngest daughter has even joined me.
As I once wrote, life happens in moments like these.
Thanks again for being here. Talk more soon.
