Hi, my name is Doug. I write about science and technology, arts and culture, games, media and other things at places like Medium, Motherboard, ReForm, Vantage, WIRED, and VICE. I also helped Medium photo editors launch the photography site Vantage, where I still write and edit. I'm handy with shooting and editing video, and know my way around sound too. While I enjoy working on topics that draw my interest on their own, I've also worked with some brands you'd probably recognize, both of which I'll tell you about if you ask. Below you'll find examples of articles, videos, and other things I do or make. Thanks for visiting!
