MY STORY
I’ve worked at BMD since 1998. I tend to have multiple and serial obsessions, so BMD has been a perfect place to be, allowing me to work with hundreds of brilliant people, on everything from books to exhibitions, videos, installations, festivals, parks, stores, museums, big ideas, and products.

From age 15 to about age 30 I was completely consumed with film. I was a film curator at the AGO, and, almost accidentally, made a handful of films, including documentaries on Michael Snow and Stan Brakhage.

These days I’m preoccupied by an ongoing project on popular music, unshakable awe with the internet, American regional cooking, and learning about the world with my daughter Meredith.
