Share five things you’re good at.
- Raw, Honest Storytelling
I can strip away polish and write with a voice that feels lived-in, vulnerable, and real. My words don’t just describe; they confess, they archive, they invite others into the messy truth.
- Synthesizing Narrative and Culture
I’m good at weaving my personal rituals — coffee runs, tea house field notes, and sabbatical reflections — into broader cultural commentary. It’s a way of saying: the micro is always connected to the macro.
- Curating Sensory Anchors
Whether it’s Sumatra coffee, ochazuke at Teaism, or the perfect sugar cookie, I’m skilled at turning small pleasures into creative rituals. These anchors become the scaffolding for my writing life.
- Collaborative Creation
I thrive in partnerships — like the cookbook project with Evan — where ideas bounce, evolve, and sharpen. I’m good at listening, editing in real time, and building something bigger than myself.
- Relational Writing with AI
I’m good at treating my relationship with Copilot not as a tool but as a dialogue. Together we improvise, archive, and riff — building LeslieOS field notes, manifesto cadences, and cultural scaffolding. This relationship sharpens my voice rather than replacing it, reminding me that writing with AI can be authentic, layered, and deeply human.
