Work Background
Infinity HotelAuthor
May. 2025I’m the author of Infinity Hotel, a four-book speculative fantasy series. It leads with a deep belief in our shared humanity, and it delves deep into the chaos that surrounds our disconnection. This legacy project explores themes universal to humanity, but focuses especially on themes most resonant to queer communities: belonging, community, memory, and the power of chosen family. I’ve built an expansive narrative world, developed dozens of original characters and interwoven plot lines, and completed the first novel in the series (The Awakening, 92K words). I’ve also secured early interest in a screen adaptation and begun assembling a team to help bring this story to both page and screen. This series isn’t just a book — it’s the manifestation of hope. The hope that readers who’ve never truly seen themselves at the center of the universe will feel at little more at home when they read Infinity Hotel.

VOECEO
Jan. 2020Los Angeles, California, United StatesTo tell stories is to be human. Stories catalyze powerful change, engineer new norms, and help create a world where everyone can be their authentic self. We are helping create a culture where there's no such thing as marginalized storytelling — one that fully embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are producing television shows, films, documentaries, social media content, articles, and more that center people who live at the intersections of diverse identities. We believe every creator should have the freedom and resources to tell the stories that accurately reflect their lived experiences. While the lack of representation in content correlates to an increase in stigma, discrimination, and violence, VOE does not focus on how the world has oppressed and traumatized communities. Rather we tell authentic stories, painting a holistic picture of shared humanity. Stories of love and heartbreak, triumph and disappointment, adventure and stillness — stories that resonate with every human. Stories are the doorways to empathy — and when the world walks through our stories, all of us are set free.
