Tech, Philanthropy, Composing
I’m moderating a panel at next month’s Seattle Interactive Conference, and I’m very excited about it.

Given how much stress there is associated with being an artist, and …
I love helping artists be better at the career side of things, so I’m ecstatic to be speaking next month at the Fresh Inc Festival.
