Behind the Brand
I am a public historian specializing in the European Iron Age, with a heavy focus on the Viking Age. My background is in history, art, and art history, with a deep interest in archaeology, religion, and folklore. The skills these disciplines entail allow me to think critically and imaginatively about my work. My goal is to engage with the curious minds of the world, making history entertaining, relatable, and of course, informative. I seek to bridge the gap between academia and the public, making information accessible to any willing to learn in order to produce a healthier tolerance and understanding of what has come before, how it relates to the present, and how it can improve our future.

History is my passion, art is my language, and bringing joy, substance, and beauty into people's lives is my goal.
