Pure joy & nerd content!
​I’m a solution focused problem seeker, and I create. A lot.​
Sometimes new things, sometimes kaleidoscopic shift for existing things. Some things I regularly create are ideas, content, and shared spaces for surprise and contemplation. Plus I like creating tasty savory snacks. That’s a thing too.
​
​I’m old enough ​to have done stuff, and young enough to be ​seeking new adventures. I've created audio / visual works, words, and ideas, curated special programming and projects, served as a teaching artist and performance host, led adult and youth education courses in person and online, held artistic operations, marketing, and fundraising roles, and played a lot of viola.

LET's COLLABORATE
Work with great people is what makes the work great. I am fueled by creating experiences for and with divergent thinkers and complex communities.
CONSULTING + MENTORING
How do we empower each other and do really good work that matters? As a consultant, I work with dynamic groups of people to help you solve complex problems and do more meaningful work.
CREATIVE PRODUCTION +
CURATION
Nothing excites me more than taking an idea and figuring out how to actually bring it to life. I've produced a lot of complex things with awesome people. Maybe you're next!
PERFORMANCE BEYOND VIOLA
My superpower is making and holding space for wonderment, which I sometimes do with a viola in my hands. Other ways I engage people include leading workshops, narrating and hosting concerts, doing preconcert lectures and more.
