My own interests tend towards the connections between people and place, and my affinities for history, agriculture, design, and culture often show through. With that in mind, I'm most interested in writing for design, art, travel, or food publications that have a unique bent (Wilder, Kinfolk, the Etsy blog, Design Sponge come to mind).

Thanks for any feedback!
