I worked with Tess at Medium. I interviewed her, as a matter of fact, but – just like a bunch of other people commented – at the end she ended up interviewing me.

I loved Tess’s warmth and thoughtfulness, and the sort of world apprehension that I myself aspire to – the keen understanding of things without the dangers of naïveté, but also without giving up on empathy, or trust, or hope.

Tess liked Dutch culture, and the one word that I immediately remember when thinking of her is the barely-translatable “gezellig” – the kind of hard-earned coziness, quaintness, human connection, and friendliness that happens only in the best of homes.
