I help people tell stories, and sometimes I tell them myself.

If you want a fancier-sounding version, here’s something for you:

Bobbie Johnson is an award-winning journalist, editor and media maker based in San Francisco, California. He is currently a freelance writer with bylines at outlets including Wired and the New York Times, and principal of the editorial studio Super Hyper.

Over more than two decades in media and publishing, he has held a variety of roles, including Editorial Director at the Steve Jobs Archive, features editor at MIT Technology Review and principal investigator at the Pandemic Technology Project. He was also editor-in-chief of Anxy, a groundbreaking independent print magazine tackling the taboos of mental health.

Prior to that he was a co-founder of Matter, an online publisher specializing in longform science and technology journalism that became part of Medium in 2013. Matter won a National Magazine Award for reporting and twice scooped the Association of British Science Writers award for investigative journalism, and an SPJ award for innovation in journalism, plus numerous other gongs before its clock sadly ran out.

He cut his teeth as a technology correspondent and editor at The Guardian, and a journalist the London Evening Standard, and has been a successful freelance writer, speaker, and adviser.

Here’s his LinkedIn profile.

Bobbie was born in Cambridge, England, and raised on the council estates of East Anglia. He lives in the Bay Area with his wife and son, drums badly but with great enthusiasm, and is both a season ticket holder at Oakland Roots SC and a lifelong fan of Chelsea FC.
