A narrative series about the importance of dog parks as public space, exploring the concept through our relationship with dogs, each other, and the land.
Dog Walk Meditation
Short guided meditations designed for listening while walking your dog to help release the mind from distractions and stress. Instead, the goal is to focus on the present.
I also worked with artists specifically, including a special partnership merch collaboration. In general, I curated pieces of dog art to share on social media.

On my own, I’ve also co-hosted, edited, and produced a variety of shows.
Ohtani Comes To America
A show following the path of baseball phenom Shohei Ohtani, a two-way player who came to the MLB from Japan as both a pitcher and hitter. Hosted by Kevin De Los Santos and I, covering all seasons of Ohtani’s career in the podcast since he came over in 2018.
The show has published 60 episodes over the seven seasons of his career, with weekly updates his rookie year and then bigger overview episodes in more recent years.

Ohtani Newsletter
There is also a companion Ohtani newsletter for the podcast that ran during the 2023 season primarily. I worked on this through Substack, where I put out weekly updates that included summarizing that week’s events, analysis, making custom-made gif’s, curating select art to feature, and more.
CessPool Network
Podcast network I launched in January 2019 with friends hosting a variety of shows that covered pop culture, entertainment, arts, and sports.
I worked on everything from the concept to managing all of the network, helping with producing and edits across each show, art direction, and other details. I also arranged for the original show illustrations by Cindy Rodriguez. More on the website.

I also worked on the social media artwork that had a loose template emphasizing a playful approach with bold lines and colors to match the style and voices of the shows. Examples of some of the Instagram posts below.
