An avid participant in all things saltwater-related or found in the mountains, Best paired with a cup of coffee at sunrise or an ice-cold beer at sunset.  I received a BS in communications and media studies from UC Santa Barbara where I took a short intermission at the University of Sydney to fuel my 35mm film addiction in their art program.

I’ve since spent my career chasing passions and championing stories — from pushing boundaries with the talented Global Brand Creative team at Nike through long-form research articles, podcasting, and multimedia storytelling campaigns, to crafting marketing copy around some of the best gear in the business with Arc’teryx, covering all things social justice, politics, climate justice, and culture as the Newsletter Editor for Rabble, and writing content that embodies the stoke of getting Way Out There and the importance of sustainable textile practices with my friends over at Deso Supply Co., to every passion project in between.

I craft narratives and tell stories highlighting the resilience and wonder of the human spirit, inform readers through credible research and expert-backed information, and inspire audiences by homing in on unique and authentic brand voices.
