I'm a visual storyteller working primarily in moving image, with experience in ux and print design.

The heart of my work lies in the belief that living in the world is inherently relational. My practice inside this expanded ecological frame strives to untangle existential experiences that confound and overwhelm—social, environmental and intimate experiences of joy, pain, amazement, and longing. My personal position serves as a starting point, a constellationary node in search of junctions to follow. While my voice sets up certain formal frames, the goal is plasticity—assemblages that welcome interjections and openings. The answer is a question. The response is “yes and...”

I hold an MFA in cinematic arts from University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, an MFA in graphic design from Yale School of Art and a BA in architecture from Princeton University.
