My Approach at a Glance

• Experiential producer managing cross-functional projects with creative precision
  From initial concept to post-event reconciliation, I produce complex activations that span hybrid screenings, gallery installations, print publishing, and performance. I’ve led projects for institutions and independent platforms alike, managing budgets, permits, and crews across the U.S. and UK.

• Curator of multi-format, hybrid exhibitions
  At Millennium Film Workshop, I’ve curated multi-day exhibitions integrating screenings, poetry readings, and live performance. I prioritize curation as a spatial and sensory practice—building formats that balance intimacy and scale, coherence and risk.

• Designer of emotional environments and spatial narratives
  My install work often incorporates preserved organic material, choreographic logic, poetic structures, and sound design—constructing layered atmospheres that activate perception and memory.

• Publication strategist and editor for artbooks and zines
  As Managing Editor of Bad Saturn Media, I lead collaborative editorial and production pipelines. My books and zines often accompany exhibitions, building extended narrative space across media.

• Systems-thinker committed to care-centered cultural production
  I build workflows and team cultures that honor sustainability, clarity, and access. My work is informed by disability justice, feminist methodology, and belief in the transformative power of well-produced, emotionally intelligent events.
