Biting jokes about systems that really shouldn’t be funny.
I use comedy to talk about social harm that can exist in systems of ableism, bureaucracy, systemic violence, and in ways that are more emotionally accessible. These are serious problems, and shining a light on them matters deeply to me, but I’ve learned that humor is often the most accessible way into triggering topics.
For over 20 years, I’ve honed a comedic voice that’s sardonic, precise, and deeply invested in care. I was even recruited to write comedy for Amazon; I declined, because I want my jokes doing work in the world, not just moving products.
In these visual essay lessons, I combine pedagogy, art, and design to create short, punchy lessons that go straight to the core of systemic issues. My hope is that these pieces help viewers laugh, wince, and recognize their own role in transforming harmful structures into something more humane.
