Statement

I design experiences that linger. Felt in the body, remembered long after they’ve ended. My work begins with fragments: a gesture, an image, a line of text. From there, I build landscapes across film, performance, installation, and publishing.

I treat production as a choreography: aligning budgets, teams, and timelines with the same care as sound, light, and movement. For me, execution is part of the art, it’s how an idea finds its form. I believe environments can re-pattern perception, creating conditions where audiences don’t just watch but participate, sense, and remember differently.

Whether producing a multi-market project, curating a film program, or directing a book into the world, I hold the creative thread through complexity, balancing systems and aesthetics so the spark of the original idea remains intact.
