Hello! My name is Kristie, and I’m a writer, illustrator and journalist passionate about documenting and preserving the stories of cultural gems found in the everyday: in our scrappy microcinemas, community libraries, emerging bilingual zine spaces, neighborhood archives, art activations, backyard shows, the free DIY newspaper on the corner.

I’m always excited to highlight these places, projects and the people within them. Send me an email with tips, thoughts & tidbits!
