A self-proclaimed workaholic, I usually spend my free time obsessing over current industry trends and my thesis research. When I’m not devouring every ​Vogue​ and ​Ad Age​ article imaginable, I’m watching Mad Men​, taking ballet and boxing classes that make me forget I’m working out, traveling on spontaneous road trips, searching for the best Chinese takeout and going to concerts. And grabbing a coffee or two. Or three or six.

What’s with the typewriter?

As much as I love technology and new media, I’m also an old soul. I collect vintage typewriters because there’s nothing in the world like whacking away at old keys and hearing the ding! at the end of the space. Learning to type on a typewriter has made me a better writer because it’s taught me to choose my words carefully, and learn from my mistakes without being afraid to start over.
