A few years ago, my wife took a job that relocated our family to Mexico City. In my time there, I got to learn a little about that amazing city.
Today, I published a story about some of the sounds that define the sonic landscape of CDMX: pudding.cool/2022/09/cdmx/
I have a TON to say about this project and how it got made, but I'll post that later.
I will say that I am BEYOND proud to publish my second large scale interactive this year that is FULLY bilingual — last time in Chinese, this time in Spanish.

Hello👋🧵
I just published this story and I wanted to share a little bit about how a large-scale, multimedia, interactive story gets made for a place like the @nytimes — as a freelance journalist.
nytimes.com/interactive/20…2/ In my experience, the opportunity to produce something like this — as a freelancer — is rare. So I thought it might be interesting to other freelancers to see some the journey and share what I learned along the way.
(+ I wanted to thank 🙏 some of the many people who helped)

In 1985, NYC ordered 155 bilingual street signs to hang in Chinatown. Today, only 101 remain. We set out to map them 🧵👇
My latest for @nytimes, a multimedia investigation into the forgotten history and slow disappearance of NYC's Chinese signs:
nytimes.com/interactive/20…2/ This story is the culmination of 9 years of on-and-off research and the product of a huge team effort, help from countless individuals and organizations, dozens of visits to dusty archives and windowless government offices, street canvassing, digging, begging, and nudging.

1/ I’m sorry to be late to this conversation, but feel proud to be able to echo what so many former colleagues have already said.
A thread about my time at Gimlet and thoughts on the current Reply All controversy
2/ As context, I worked at @Gimlet for a little under 2 years. I worked for the show ELT. I started as an intern, was picked up as a contract associate producer, and then hired as a full time associate producer.
