My story, simplified.

amylipner

Words + stories have followed me my whole life. 

As a child, I learned that stories are everything. I was a voracious reader and authored a number of terrible mysteries. 

As a young adult, I learned to write “the right way.” I earned a BA in English Literature and a JD, which is basically an advanced English degree. 

As a lawyer, I learned to write for power and persuasion. I understood that the party who controls the narrative, wins the case. 
-- Plot twist. I hated litigation.

Now as a content designer and lead, I use writing to simplify complexity and breathe life into tired ideas. I’m driven by the dogged belief that story, in its many incarnations, is what keeps our world moving forward.
