Confession: I go by “Abby”, but I already bought this domain and am too proud to change it now.

I’m a writer who does a lot of other things like directing, photographing, voice acting, cartooning, chalk art-ing, and animating. I’ve even won some awards, which I know we as humble and meek advertising creatives aren’t supposed to talk about, but it feels worth at least mentioning in an “about” page.

My aggregate 15 minutes of fame include:

• A super-passive-aggressive feature on Fox News for chalk art (See here.)

• A solo in A Children’s Theater production of The Nativity. I, like the great Eddie Murphy, played the donkey.

• Being the fattest baby born at Mount Holly Memorial Hospital. 10 pounds. Six ounces. One baby. The nurses called me “Sumo Baby”—a name my parents still use today when I’ve had one too many chips.

The aforementioned awards:
