My multifaceted career has allowed me to do deep dives into the contributions of iconoclastic thinkers, artists, architects, designers, and scientists. I've learned about subjects ranging from the smell-scapes of cities to the role of the Las Vegas Strip in architecture to the state of New York City's urban forest.
I've written an English adaptation of an essay on the revolutionary modern ceramics movement in France, a profile of an award-winning architect, and a winning proposal for an international design competition; helped shape and polish books on contemporary art, architecture, urban planning, and personal memoir.
I've raised funds to support community access, education, exhibitions, and the digitization of archives for museums, alternative spaces, and independent curatorial projects.
In full-time roles, I curated exhibitions, managed publications, and co-organized an international lecture series, and secured programmatic and capital funding.
Raised in the Midwest, I have spent my life learning from cultures worldwide—ancient to contemporary, rural to urban. My training and experiences as an artist have informed and guided all of my professional work.
