I love crafting stories that connect people—and I have a decade of diverse, global experience doing so.
I was also previously Deputy Editor at Everyday Feminism, and wrote “The Path” at Lattice, a monthly column exploring the twists and turns of professional journeys. I have also worked as a copywriter for brands like SoFi as well as a number of independent clients. As a freelance writer, I’ve contributed essays, op-eds, reported articles, comics, and more to outlets like Glamour, Slate, Wired, Allure, Los Angeles Times, Vice, The New York Times’ Women in the World, and more.

Ludi not only helped conceptualize The Path column for Lattice but also produces all the illustrations for the stories, giving it a distinct look from all the other content on our site. Ludi's also helped evolve the concept. Super pleased with her thoughtfulness, thoroughness, creativity, and reliability on this series. I'd fully recommend her and looking forward to doing more work with her in the future.”
