Driven Studio acquired Rightside Productions and the two organizations became known as Driven Studio on June 1, 2016.

I edited the final few editions of EatingWell's Nourish column. Check out Hillary Nussbaum's smart/tart essay in the September/October issue, "Acquired Tastes."​ For Nourish's grand finale, I had the chance to work with an amazing writer and storyteller... but I can't say more now. Wait for the November/December issue to hit your mailbox or newsstand.
