About

I’m a journalist and author with long experience covering architecture and urban planning, policy, and politics. Currently, I’m an editor at the magazine Bloomberg Businessweek. I previously worked at CityLab, and before that, I was a freelancer contributing to publications including The Washington Post and The Atlantic. My book Radical Suburbs, on experimental suburban communities, came out in April 2019.

I have a Ph.D. in literature from the University of Bristol and an M.A. from the University of St. Andrews (UK) and live in Silver Spring, Md.
