I’m a designer, creative technologist, AV consultant and technical producer who helps artists and brands manifest their visions by designing custom hardware and software systems that place their aesthetics at the forefront.

I have experience at every point in the production pipeline, from blue sky ideation for San Francisco Symphony, through systems design and implementation for The Jackie Robinson Museum and Starbucks, to service and maintenance for Beacon Capital. This taught me how sound decisions in early phases help create beautiful results when projects go live.

As a CT, I design systems by producing one-line diagrams and 3D models, specifying hardware, identifying software environments, guiding AV integrators and custom fabricators, developing software, and working with everyone onsite to refine our touchpoints. In addition to my freelance work, I worked at AV&C for 6 years and I’m currently a creative technologist at Gensler.

As an artist, I design sounds, generate visuals, build bespoke instruments and perform on and off stage with musicians, artists, choreographers and theater productions, including collaborations with Tyondai Braxton, Zeena Parkins, Lara Baladi, Dan Deacon, Neil Greenberg, Xiu Xiu, Yuka C. Honda, Mantra Percussion, David Virelles, Alarm Will Sound, the London Sinfonietta, the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the Wordless Music Orchestra.
