Cultural worker mobilizing people, memory, and design toward collective liberation.

X CLOSE

LET’S WORK TOGETHER!


I believe in the strategic use of art, design, and culture to shape a more just and equitable world.



For over two decades I've worked with grassroots organizations, cultural institutions, and global companies to strengthen the cultural ecosystems that sustain belonging.

If you're building something at the intersection of creativity and impact, I'd love to connect.





    PAST CLIENTS + COLLABORATORS



    I tend to think in terms of relationships, networks, and systems, making me a strong thought partner for navigating change and complexity.

    I’m often brought in as a strategist, facilitator, curator, and project lead for work at the messy, high-stakes intersection of ambition and reality.


    I'm drawn to working with mission-driven organizations, artists, and communities who use the lens of place to ground their work.



    WAYS TO WORK WITH ME



    A. Community-Engaged Design

    I believe in design that centers the power and vision of the communities it serves.
    I’m often brought in as a project lead when community expertise needs to meaningfully shape decision-making, when a project requires a co-design approach, or when teams need operating structures that support collaboration.

    I can help with:

    • Designing community engagement strategies
    • Leading participatory research and co-design processes
    • Facilitating workshops and stakeholder dialogues
    • Building alignment across diverse groups
    • Developing implementation plans and project roadmaps
    • Translating community insight into actionable programs and initiatives
    • Coordinating complex, multi-stakeholder projects from concept to launch




      CAPABILITIES 
      PARTICIPATORY ACTION RESEARCH
      COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
      FACILITATION
      WORKSHOP DESIGN
      COALITION BUILDING
      STRATEGIC IMPLEMENTATION





      B. Cultural Strategy

      Culture is one of the most powerful drivers of change, inside organizations and beyond.

      I work with organizations to use culture to shift power, narratives, ways of working, and systems toward greater equity. My approach combines systems thinking with deep attention to the human dimensions of change, recognizing that sustainable transformation requires shifts in both structures and relationships.

      I can help with:

      • Developing cultural strategies that align values, vision, and desired change
      • Strategic planning, visioning, and goal-setting
      • Designing collaborative operating models
      • Translating strategy into actionable roadmaps and implementation plans
      • Building shared narratives and frameworks that support collective action





      CAPABILITIES 
      STRATEGIC PLANNING
      ORGANIZATIONAL TRANSFORMATION
      STAKEHOLDER ALIGNMENT
      SYSTEMS CHANGE
      CAPACITY BUILDING
      IMPLEMENTATION ROADMAPS
      CROSS-FUNCTIONAL COLLABORATION





      C. Curatorial Projects

      I use the lens of place to inform my curatorial practice.
      My work explores how histories of migration, displacement, stewardship, and resistance are inscribed in the built and natural environment. I often collaborate with artists whose practices illuminate these relationships, helping shape exhibitions, public programs, convenings, and writing that bring these inquiries into the public realm.

      I can help with:

      • Curating exhibitions, public programs, and cultural initiatives
      • Conducting curatorial, archival, and place-based research
      • Developing interpretive frameworks and exhibition narratives
      • Designing convenings, workshops, and collective learning experiences
      • Translating research into accessible public-facing programming
      • Writing essays, exhibition texts, and commissioned content





      CAPABILITIES 
      CURATORIAL RESEARCH
      EXHIBITIONS
      PUBLIC PROGRAMMING
      WRITING & PUBLISHING
      CONVENING DESIGN
      SPATIAL NARRATIVES
