A little more about me: I’m the co-author, with Robert A.M. Stern, of the book Pedagogy & Place: 100 Years of Architecture Education at Yale and the writer of the monograph A Grid and a Conversation: Morris Adjmi Architects. I’ve been writing about architecture, design, and pop culture—sometimes all at once— for more than 15 years. My work has appeared in Wired, Smithsonian, The Guardian, and The Architect’s Newspaper, among many other publications. You may have heard me speak about design on NPR and ABC Radio National. I’ve also lectured about architecture history and alternative career paths for architects at schools like Yale and LSU.

When I’m not helping designers tell their stories with ADVSCOPY, I’m telling my own across a range of genres and media. My first comic, “The Beekeeper’s Due,” received an Eisner Award nomination in 2023. “Voda’s Atlas,” a short prose story about a rogue cartographer in a shattered land, was published in Whetstone no.6. And my short story “Craftsman,” an homage to mail-order houses and the works of H.P. Lovecraft, was published in the fall 2024 issue of Hexagon magazine.

Currently, I’m working on my first full-length comic, The Relics of Northmore, and sharing thoughts about comic books and architecture on the blog Nine-Square Grid.

I’m also a hobbyist beekeeper and co-founder, with my wife and daughter, of Yellow Door Honey. We live just outside Philadelphia, PA.
