I'm the founder and editor of Platformer, a publication about the intersection of tech and democracy; and the co-host of Hard Fork, a New York Times podcast about the future that's already here. Prior to founding Platformer in 2020, I was the longtime Silicon Valley editor of The Verge, where I covered the rise of social platforms and their growing influence on public discourse.
My reporting has focused on content moderation, platform governance, and the labor practices of tech giants. My stories about the human cost of building the internet we all use were a finalist for the National Magazine Award.
I live in San Francisco with my boyfriend.
