OXMAN is a research studio at the intersection of biology, computation, and design. In this role, I owned the editorial bar and voice for a high-volume, multi-author publishing environment — designing and running the end-to-end content review process from outline through publication, managing a complex editorial calendar, and establishing the standards and templates that improved logic, consistency, and compliance across all outputs.
Working directly with PhDs and senior researchers, I edited and authored scientific manuscripts, grant submissions, book content, and executive presentations for audiences ranging from peer reviewers to the general public. The scope covered everything from internal strategy documents to the language that represented OXMAN's science to the world.
The work required holding two registers simultaneously: precise enough for the researchers who knew the science intimately, accessible enough for the press, curators, and funding bodies who would encounter it for the first time.
Selected outputs
Scientific proposal
NSF SBIR Phase I Proposal, Environmental Technologies
Wrote OXMAN's NSF SBIR Phase I proposal, translating primary research into a scientifically rigorous submission strategically calibrated to program priorities and review criteria.
Patent documentation
US20240164261 · US20240141557 · WO2022271799
Prepared invention disclosures for three utility patents in collaboration with researchers and patent attorneys, translating primary research into detailed technical documentation for USPTO and WIPO filing.
Public communication
ALEF, EDEN, O°, Man-Nahāta
Developed written narratives from primary research for all major public-facing projects. Authored and edited web copy, press materials, and exhibition content.
Press & exhibition
Wall Street Journal · Dezeen · SFMOMA
Shaped how OXMAN's science was represented in major press and institutional contexts, including a major exhibition (Nature × Humanity, 2022) at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
