While working for Faraday Future, I spearheaded the development of FutureSight – the company's official online magazine. It quickly became a mainstay of the website, attracting and sustaining more visitors than any other feature.

It was a unique challenge, as the company could say little and less in regards to vehicle specs or market strategy during its "stealth mode" phase. However, with the help of a hard-working creative team and the saint-like patience of engineers that humored me as I tried to translate their life's work into layman's terms, we were able to create a publication that felt like something much greater than a simple "company blog."

Below are some examples of the articles that I pitched and wrote, paired with stunning photography from the remarkably talented Tyler Adams.
