Cheyenne MacDonald

Cheyenne covers the messy, beautiful, sometimes terrifying crossroads of human culture and technology. CES’s Final Girl, if you will.

Her focus also includes chronic illness, sex tech, marijuana, and all things spooky.

Offline, she is a helicopter ferret mom, Tamagotchi hoarder, and wildlife rehabilitator.
