I aim to promote systems of social infrastructure that support public access to knowledge, education, and resources for resilience and adaptation. I am involved with all aspects of world-creating: books, buildings, gardens, spaces, ideas, and so on. 

A critical through-line of my professional journey has been the ability to bring creative, interdisciplinary perspectives into new fields and modalities. I have been involved in fields of architecture, landscape design, art, digital studies, and education. My roles within these fields have varied from researcher, editor, project manager, creative director, teacher, and student. 

My current preoccupation with printed matter stems from a deep-seated value for education in all its forms. Ultimately, I see storytelling as a tool to foster access, belonging, and an expanded imaginative capacity to envision change.
