edit data

J.D. Macpherson is an author and journalist who works in the messy middle, turning complex ideas into stories people want to read. Relentless, jargon-allergic, and unmistakably human, she cuts through hype with a reporter’s instinct. A Canadian with a background in theatre and philosophy, Macpherson loves people-watching and finding beauty in unexpected places. She has an especially soft spot for chicken katsu.
