Projects

I strongly prefer to support the industry of friends or friends of friends. I have compiled the fruits of labor and love of friends and acquaintances here, in the hopes that maybe you will see something that tickles your fancy.

Film and Photo

Matt Echelman is amongst my closest friends, and is a diligent filmmaker and storyteller.

My cousin, Katye Martens Brier, and her husband Joe Brier are the best photographers and wedding photographers I could imagine, as Maple and Main Media.

The loveliest of friends Christine Reighley and Cam Held own and operate Maine The Way, my favorite publication.

Music

I went to college with Mari, whose music I can’t get enough of.

One of my oldest and dearest friends is Jake Arthur, and I am lucky to have been listening to him for many of those years. He continues to develop as quite the songwriter.

Bar Scott has made some of my favorite music I have ever had the pleasure of hearing, which makes sense as she is one of the most lovely people.

Physical Goods

A friend from high school, I have admired Steve Buduo’s art from afar for many, many years.

A friend of a friend from college, I have admired Lucie Coleman’s prints for fewer years, but to no less satisfaction.

Read what Garth’s goal is at Franklin Woodworking. He achieves it, with every piece I have seen.

Story Telling

Lauren’s newsletter, Keats-Free Zone, always brightens my day when it lands in my inbox.

Eric’s project on Biodiversity in Vermont inspires me to look at the world with fresh eyes. Much of this work has been compiled into Our Better Nature.

I love hearing people talk about topics they are passionate and knowledgeable about, especially if I know nothing about them. Keelia does that with her co-host Ajira on Doula Stories.
