Professional
Much of my professional writing has grown out of more than two decades working with handpans—exploring their design, acoustics, tuning, manufacturing, history, and the evolution of the craft.
Through the Xenith Handpans blog, I write about the technical and creative sides of instrument making, share what I’ve learned from years at the workbench, and document a field that continues to evolve around me.
Personal Writing
My personal writing lives in the wild, tender, and occasionally NSFW corners of being human.
I write candidly about sex, shame, healing, desire, relationships, identity, and the complicated process of becoming. Some pieces are deeply personal, some are playful, and some venture into uncomfortable territory—but all of them come from curiosity and a desire to understand ourselves a little better.
A light content warning: this writing sometimes includes explicit discussions of sex, kink, mental health, relationships, and other adult themes.
Published Writing
Occasionally my writing escapes my own corners of the internet and finds a home somewhere else.
My essays explore community, identity, vulnerability, and the small experiences that reveal something larger about being human.
