HOW DID I GET HERE​​

Studying architecture taught me to pay attention to how a space influences movement, attention, and relationships. A threshold, a change in scale, or the arrangement of a room can affect how people gather, who feels welcome, and what interactions become possible.

Theatre brought these questions into a living, collaborative process. A set has to support a story, respond to performers, and take shape through rehearsal, construction, and exchange. Working with light, sound, objects, and movement taught me to consider how an environment unfolds over time and changes through the people who inhabit it.
 

Film, opera, and visual art have expanded that understanding. Film sharpened my attention to framing and detail; painting offered another way to explore composition, texture, and atmosphere. Directing brought these elements into conversation, asking me to consider how each choice contributes to the experience as a whole.
 

Today, my creative practice spans scenic and spatial design, directing, installations, and immersive environments. I begin by asking what we are making, who it is for, and how people will encounter it. Those questions guide decisions about materials, narrative, and participation alongside the practical responsibilities of bringing a project to life.
 

Collaboration is central to that process. I listen, study the context, and develop ideas through conversation, drawings, models, and testing. The work grows through the knowledge of the people involved, from performers and fabricators to collaborators and participants.
 

Identity, Change & Creative Practice

Moving between places and disciplines has shaped my interest in identity and belonging: the roles we learn to inhabit, the expectations we carry, and what happens when familiar ways of living no longer fit.
 

These questions inform my coaching and facilitation. Through Architecture of Becoming, my ongoing inquiry into how identity takes form, I developed Inner Architecture Mapping (IAM). This work brings spatial thinking, embodied reflection, and creative exploration into a process of examining our experiences and considering how we want to respond.
