I’m 24 years old and a writer, blogger, and all-around creative type living in Chicago who subscribes wholeheartedly to the philosophy that “twenty years from now, you’ll be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the ones you did do.” Naturally this has led me to make plenty of mistakes over the years, but at least I have some good stories to tell. This is my personal blog, where I share these stories, other writing of mine, organize my thoughts on various topics, and generally post about everything that doesn’t quite fit into my other work.
Explanation of the name of my blog
My fashion blog, The Fashionable Kiffen.
I also contribute to a variety of other sites and traditional print (or dead tree) media, and I am available for freelance writing and consulting gigs. If you would like a complete list of my credentials/work/background/general accomplishments, email me or check out my profile on LinkedIn.

Hey, this is a wonderful blog! I enjoy the title, “Chasing the Southern Cross”. Ever since I looked up at the sky and really paid attention to how different it is in the Southern hemisphere (as in, not having a big dipper or a north star), I’ve been rather obsessed with the southern cross. Perfect
