I love helping to create immersive, interactive art and environments that inspire a sense of wonder, mindfulness through movement and deeper connection to the people and places around us. With a focus on project management and building collaborative teams, along with years of hands-on experience fabricating/installing large-scale art and infrastructure in the music festival world, I bring a unique perspective and broad skillset to every project. Through clear communication, dynamic problem solving and creative systems thinking, I seek to predict potential challenges, better efficiency and collaboration and provide creative support that empowers those around me.
I can usually be found building things, facilitating the building of things, photographing people who build things, Muay Thai kickboxing, in a forest, or writing ukulele love songs for my dog. I'm an explorer at heart, and always excited to learn new skills and take on new challenges. Based in the beautiful Southern California High Desert, but I love to travel and work on-site.
My current focus is on operational roles that allow me to build or reimagine systems while supporting the teams who use them, with a dose of installation art on the side -- but I'm open to new projects in many forms! Some of my favorite past endeavors include Texino Campervan build outs, immersive activations for the Adobe Max conference, supporting Lightning in a Bottle Festival build teams, working with O2 Treehouse, and building intricate bamboo structures with Bamboo DNA.
Thank you for stopping by! Please reach out if you are interested in working together, or would like more information about me and my projects. Let's make beautiful, weird things!
