Bylined Articles

I have written hundreds of articles of all lengths and types over the course of my career, interviewed interesting people, navigated the politics of the approval and publishing process, and promoted my work online and in newsletters. 

At Toptal’s blogs

As part of the Writing team for worldwide talent company Toptal, I researched and wrote bylined articles for the Project and Product Management blogs as well as for the Insights blog that covered industry leadership topics.

At Architect Magazine and Hanley Wood’s Design Group

While the vast majority of my 12 years at Hanley Wood were spent running the day-to-day operations of the Architect Design Group, I did manage to find time to report and write news stories, product coverage, design articles, and much more. More than 140 articles, in fact. You can find them all at my author page on Architect’s website.

Below, I will highlight some examples of my work there.

Week in COVID-19 News

Each week for months, I compiled all of the news most relevant to the architecture industry and design community when the COVID-19 pandemic started turning all of our worlds upside-down.

Week in Projects

Architect magazine has a huge database of buildings, renderings and on-the-boards designs, and other architecture projects, which I managed. Each week, I picked a dozen or so of the best newest submissions for our readers.

Worldwide News Stories

When appropriate, I covered stories outside of the architecture and design industries, especially if the topic was at least tangential and certainly if it was interesting, like this story about hacking the electrical grid.

Peter Zumthor LACMA

Design News Stories

A lot of the daily work at Architect magazine was to stay on top of the periodic architecture news and design-related stories, which I would pitch in on when I could, like this story of Peter Zumthor’s design for LACMA.

Roundups and Collections

Gathering the work we had already done and repackaging it in fun and delightful ways for the readers to rediscover or learn about for the first time are a great way to make new content, like this roundup of stories about Frank Lloyd Wright on the occasion of the Great Architect’s 150th birthday.

Jobs and Business Coverage

For years, I covered the monthly release of the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ and ADP’s monthly job reports as well as the monthly release of the American Institute of Architects’ monthly Architecture Billings Index reports.
