Curious By Nature.
Moved By Meaning.


Curiosity has always been the common thread.
It drives the questions I ask, the stories I tell, and the worlds I create.

As a journalist, writer, author, and creative director, my work moves between culture, creativity, human connection, and the natural world. From reported stories and personal essays to children’s books and animation, I’ve always been drawn to what lies beneath the surface—and what happens when we look a little closer.

What I believe

“Whether the medium is journalism, essays, books, or animation, I’m interested in the same thing: the stories people tell themselves about who they are.”

— Meggen Harris

Because the stories we believe often shape the lives we live.

They influence how we see ourselves, how we understand one another, and what we imagine is possible. I’ve always been fascinated by the space between perception and reality—by the assumptions we carry, the questions we avoid, and the moments that invite us to reconsider what we think we know.

Whether I’m interviewing someone, writing an essay, or creating a story for children, I’m interested in what happens when curiosity challenges certainty. Sometimes the smallest shift in perspective changes everything.

Open Every Door

I’ve learned to trust the questions. They’ve led me to every meaningful chapter of my life—and every door worth opening.

Journalism. Travel. Business. Storytelling. Different paths, guided by the same instinct—to look a little closer and ask one more question.

Everything Is Connected

Every story begins somewhere, but it never ends there.
The most meaningful discoveries happen when seemingly unrelated things reveal how deeply they’re connected.

That’s where the stories worth telling begin.

What Stays With Us

Curiosity asks the question.
Connection gives it life.
Meaning is what stays with us long after the story ends.

That’s the kind of work worth creating. That’s what makes a story worth telling.
