Portfolio

As of 2026, my main focus is my work as the founder & CEO of Bright Nights Social (formerly Third Place Bar), an alcohol-free nightlife platform based in New York City. As the founder of Bright Nights Social, I’ve hosted close to 100 nightlife and wellness events in NYC since 2022, built up a community of over 30K followers across social media platforms, written about non-alcoholic topics on my Substack, and delivered talks and seminars at industry conferences.

I’m available for public speaking, teaching, and podcast appearances – please get in touch via email!

Projects

  • In 2022, I launched a series of non-alcoholic bar pop-up events in NYC called “Third Place Bar” (now Bright Nights Social). Sign up for our newsletter, check out our upcoming events, and follow us on Instagram to stay in the loop on what’s happening.
  • I started the “Blog Cast” podcast, a podcast that features my favorite tech blog posts, read out loud (so you can listen while going for a walk, doing chores…): https://anchor.fm/blog-cast
  • I hacked together the little Color Palette Bot, just because I really love generative art Twitter bots, and wanted to write some JavaScript: https://twitter.com/ColPaletteBot
  • A bunch of my friends contributed to “Quaranzine”, a multi-media zine I put together on Thanksgiving 2020 while many of us were home alone during the pandemic: https://quaranzine.glitch.me/
  • I taught myself how to use GarageBand and wrote and recorded a few quarantine inspired cover songs while being home alone during the lockdown in 2020: “iso trap” – A quarantine inspired cover album
