What are these?

These essays and articles are things I’ve written over the years. They were written mostly for courses I took at USC. Because I tried to always study what I find interesting, I wrote about subjects that I cared for and wanted to learn more about.

I’ve released some pieces here that I thought would be of interest to others. They mostly cover topics related to design, culture, globalization, and technology.
