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.

Digital Media and Writing Mentor 2012–2014Through 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.
