I am an editor, art director and cultural strategist. I work with brands to tell stories about who we are and how we live.

Creator.

Who’s afraid of a little content creation? Not I. I’m that rare journalist who marries over a decade of reporting experience with a career spent on set, building and managing teams, securing and uplifting talent, and stepping—nay, sashaying—in front of the camera when the mood strikes.

    I’m not just a pretty face. I’m also a talking head.

    Community is at the heart of everything I do. Whether I’m hosting a party or moderating a panel discussion, my work is about bringing people together to celebrate, collaborate and grow. Photograph by Ness Devos.

Gay genius.

Yes, it’s the name of my podcast. But it’s also a mindset that’s been foundational to the industry-spanning, multi-disciplinary work on which I’ve built my career.

It’s taking yourself seriously when you’re the only man in heels in the room. It’s talking knowledgeably about Gio Ponti and your G-spot. And it’s fighting for who and what you believe in, whether or not it’s in fashion. Photographs (L—R): Ryan Duffin and Malike Sidibe.
