An Applied Case Study of Metrics and Identity in Independent Career Strategy Within the Contemporary Industry Landscape
The Art of Authenticity
The Art of Authenticity
In Interviewing and Lowkey in Life
Authenticity in Interviewing (and Lowkey in Life) is a workshop and zine that treats interviewing as a relationship, not a script, covering subject selection, research, question structure, active listening, and real-time follow-up techniques. It closes by reframing self-assessment as critique rather than criticism. Developed from hands-on experience in Reno's DIY music scene and co-presented with KWNK and the Nevada Arts Council.
