Creative CV

While my professional CV lists all of my education and work experience, so much of the work that consumes my time and energy is left out, as much of my writing remains unpublished or unproduced, or it simply is not pertinent to the jobs for which I am applying. In short, it is an incomplete reflection of who I am. That in mind, I thought I'd offer a reverse timeline of some of the creative projects that I've completed over the years, along with brief descriptions of the works themselves:

Galápagos (2020) - children's book, adaptation of my original screenplay by the same name, currently in development with another very talented illustrator.
