I’m an Emmy-nominated film and television graphic designer and writer living in Atlanta, Georgia. I grew up with a bipolar dad who I lost to suicide in 1998. I recently finished writing a book entitled Daddy Issues: A Bipolar Memoir, about how accepting my own bipolar diagnosis taught me to forgive both my dad and myself. I'm a regular contributing writer for BP (Bipolar) Magazine; the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI); the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA); the bpHope blog (published by BP); Medical News Today; Suicide Awareness Voices of Education (SAVE); Stigma Free Society; and several award-winning bipolar blogs.
