I’m Cydney Hayes, a culture writer based in San Francisco.

My work has appeared in SF Gazetteer, The Drift, Architectual Digest, Baltimore, and elsewhere. In person, you can buy my zines, which include essays, reviews, and photography from myself and other artists, in both Green Apple Books locations in SF. I also write a blog/newsletter on Substack called Discussion Candy.

You can find my brand copywriting and UX writing here (longer video-based projects here).

Look around, and reach out if you want to chat. There’s a get in touch link on the homepage, or feel free to DM me on social.
