ABOUT ME

As an artist, I work at the intersection of art, design, technology, and fashion. Over the years, I’ve explored topics related to wearables, future systems, and experiential interactions.

As a Student Finalist at the 2017 SXSW’s Interactive Festival, I presented speculative designs that explore the consciousness of health through futuristic wearable technologies. I was also able to present this work at galleries in Pasadena and San Francisco, which expanded into a collection of experiential interactions that viewers could engage with during the show. I was selected to take part in an international residency with ZERO1’s arts organization and the US Embassy in Moscow, Russia to host an incubator and collaborate on social justice art projects that focused on inclusion through designing prototypes and experiential art installations.
My work has been exhibited in Moscow, Russia, San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Grinnell, Iowa.

Whether I’m designing gallery installations, prints, branding, retail experiences or websites, I always strive for beauty and symmetry.

Political Wearables: Using Design to Reimagine Political Activism

Using social justice and activism to understand how social movements and cultural differences influence community behavior, I wanted to see whether or not technology and human connection can make a difference with people involved in social change.
