Advisory
Organizations bring me in when something important is shifting and they need to understand what it means.

I work collaboratively, move quickly, and bring in the right people when a project needs it.

Visit site →Art Practice
Experiences designed to interrupt the pace of ordinary thinking. Each piece uses art to create the conditions for deep reflection, an invitation to step inside a situation, physical, sonic, or social, where an important question becomes something you can feel rather than just think.
A celebration of true authorship in the age of AI. Visitors select a journal, contribute a handwritten reflection, and return it to the collection. The journals travel with the House of Beautiful Business for the next decade, a growing archive of unmediated thought.
A light installation that invites festival participants to reflect on language, time, and attention during an eclipse. Narrow slits carved into a dome allow moving beams of sunlight to project fragments of text onto the inner walls. Words appear, sharpen, drift, and disappear like a living sundial made of language.
A temporary sound installation staged in public space. Using a circle of wireless speakers, the piece creates an immersive field where sound seems to arise from the space itself. Musicians, DJs, and visitors contribute live textures that the system absorbs and transforms in real time. An experiment in public intimacy.
An experimental short documentary filmed in rural Egypt, portraying a family of women inheritors of mourning traditions stretching back over three thousand years. The film doesn't explain grief so much as sit inside it, evoking questions about tradition, womanhood, and what we lose when rituals disappear.
