This site first launched in 2002 during the Internet's adolescence. It’s gone through many incarnations, most recently as a portfolio of all my writing and videos - creative and commercial. Lots has changed in the world and in my world in this nearly quarter century. While I still want to share my whole corpus of work, I feel like my commercial pieces don't really belong here, and I'm craving a fresh start and an exploration of something more human, real and creatively fulfilling. So I give you this reincarnated site which features my favorite work of all time - a greatest hits of published culture and lifestyle stories. More to come: I will also be rolling out a small selection of personal essays, and my 'best of' travel compilation.

“Shana's profile of art, archetypes and the creative rebel is one of the best pieces you'll read this year on magic as willed brain change."
