My career has allowed me to do deep dives into the contributions of iconoclastic thinkers, artists, architects, designers, and scientists. I've learned about subjects ranging from the smell-scapes of cities to the role of the Las Vegas Strip in architecture to the state of New York City's urban forest.

I've written an English adaptation of an essay on a revolutionary modern ceramics movement in France, a biographical profile of an award-winning architect, and a winning proposal for an international design competition; helped shape and polish personal memoirs, and books on contemporary art, architecture, and urban planning.

In full-time positions, I curated exhibitions, managed publications, co-organized an international graphic design lecture series at a storied art school, and secured program, project-based, and capital funding for a world-renowned museum of contemporary art. In addition, I have raised funds for museums, libraries, alternative spaces, and independent curatorial projects to support archival preservation, community access, education, exhibitions, and independent curatorial projects.

Throughout my life I've learned from different cultures: ancient to contemporary, rural to urban. My training and experiences as an artist have deeply informed my worldview and professional work.
