I am an artist, designer, and interdisciplinary collaborator working at the intersection of art, architecture, and environmental intervention. I’m passionate about using design for social and environmental impact, and my education in art and biology has helped me fuse creativity and rigor into an integrated, experimental mindset for approaching new challenges. In my recent role at Metabolic Studio, I applied my skills to an unprecedented intervention in the Los Angeles River, working toward reclaiming wastewater, connecting communities, and restoring historic ecologies.
