About

How do you make sense of things? My goal is to understand how we can grow safety within ourselves while facing increasingly uncertain futures.

To do this I create and teach things about meaning-making, perception, and illusion. I work in various disciplines to try help people help themselves; to translate complexity into something real and felt, and give structure to intuition. I really believe our own vision and sensations can reveal things that frameworks and data sometimes just can’t.

At the studio, I try to make ungraspable ideas feel physical, using translucent paper, prisms, frosted glass and other materials that respond to their environment.

Outside the studio, I am a consultant and coach in professional & alternative education spaces. I help people unravel their experiences and build trust in their own thinking; to find alignment between their inner sense of things and the external demands they’re navigating.

At their core, all my projects aim to work as a counterforce to cynicism and resignation.
