Telling the story of our evolving cities and suburbs.
For over a decade, I've written about how changes in demographics, changes in technology, and changes in how we live and work are reshaping our communities. I focus on the DC area, which has emerged as a laboratory for these trends. My work has appeared in multiple publications, including Washingtonian Magazine, CityLab, the New York Times, and the Washington Post.
