exploring the diversity of human experiences and how people interact with the world around them

My Work

Landscape Architecture

I am a trained landscape and urban designer. I’ve worked on design projects of various scopes and scales, including medicinal gardens, memorials, urban streetscapes, public art coordination, and park and open space plans. Most of my professional experiences involve the design of public spaces.

Health Research & Advocacy

My academic research focuses on designing for environmental and community health. I study the intersection of digital and built environments to support people with disabilities and chronic illness. I also work with non-profit organizations to support issues related to chronic illness.

Gender Equity

I like to work on projects that tackle gender issues, including gender disparity in STEM and women’s health. I have worked with different organizations that support women’s empowerment, as graphic support, data analyst and educator. I am currently working on a gender analysis of Lyme disease patients.

Media Design & Digital Media

I work on digital graphic designs, 3D modeling and renderings. Currently exploring a combination of 2D graphic and augmented reality in game design. I also create graphic materials for the Tardigrade Project.

Screen Printing

I am currently working on a series of screen printing projects that explores experiences and stories of place through screen-printed art, one site and city at a time.

Music

I am a looping cellist and guitarist. I used to play in an Americana band called the Sharrows. Now I mostly play for myself. I would love to play your wedding. Recordings forthcoming.
