I'm a reporter for The New York Times writing about infrastructure. I collaborate with illustrators, designers, photographers and videographers to illuminate the complex systems that power our daily lives.

Currently, I'm in Cambridge, MA for a Nieman Fellowship at Harvard University.

For the last decade, I've been pioneering new storytelling formats at The Times.

A few highlights:

Explaining how we get mountain water from our taps.

Creating reader-inspired series about the Real Mayors of New York, and the places where people find solitude in the city.

Inventing Bird Week, which involved commissioning Mike Tyson to write a defense of the pigeon and taping a live-streaming camera inside N.Y.U.'s president's office to record the lives of a red-tailed hawk family. Millions of viewers, including kids, teachers, parents, ornithologists and biologists tuned in, and the broadcast continued for three more seasons.

Drop me a line if you're looking for a guest speaker, a panelist or if you want to talk about infrastructure, how we live in cities, or the future of journalism.
