About 

Drawing from my dual-continent lifestyle, interwoven with threads of humanity, personal growth, artistic exploration, and professional dedication, I offer a multifaceted array of services. As a seasoned traveler on life's journey, I bring a depth of experience and insight to my work. Whether it's creating timeless design solutions, guiding individuals through movement and performance, crafting captivating acting and performing art pieces, infusing innovative improvisation techniques, or providing inspired artistic direction, my goal is to add layers of richness and depth to your space, set, and brand. Each service I bring forth is a reflection of my varied experiences and relentless passion, assuring that your project reaches unparalleled heights and is marked by a truly distinctive and unforgettable touch.

Today, my primary desire as an artist is to unify my two worlds of   d e s i g n  &  d a n c e with a cross x disciplinary humanistic approach. With my works and services, I like to share my learnings from my ever - evolving  artistic journey through becoming I : one - an authentic + ongoing process of being the most honest and best version of  one self through exploring creative and physical expression, which is deeply inspired by nature’s constant evolution.
