About
My work brings people into how ideas, spaces, and people are shaped across film, design and projects.
I work at the intersection of cultural production, the built environment and emerging technologies, producing projects that bring together artists, researchers, institutions and communities.
My experience spans a $1.5M permanent public art commission for San José International Airport, experimental AI performance and exhibition, architectural research and design development, and community-led organisational development.
I teach in the Faculty of Media, Creative Arts and Design at Humber Polytechnic and lead organisational development at Davenport Community Land Trust in Toronto.

My teaching approach adapts spatial thinking, narrative design, and interdisciplinary exploration. I create learning environments where architecture, media arts, and cultural studies converge, challenging students to think beyond traditional boundaries.
Through hands-on projects, I encourage critical inquiry, technical expertise and the application of theory to real-world challenges. My classrooms enliven by embracing diverse fields such as the humanities, narrative inquiry, and experience design. I guide students toward ideas that are emergent, thoughtful, and just a bit mischievous, embracing a seriously light, and lightly serious mindset.
Working on something?
I work with artists, cultural institutions, cities, organisations and communities, in Toronto and in locations worldwide.
