I am a multidisciplinary artist, architectural design artist, performing singer-songwriter, and activist.

My work is in response to materials, environments, concepts or events. I often collaborate with musicians, poets, visual artists, architects, engineers, developers and technology innovators. Together we create, develop, enhance and construct unique objects, environments and experiences.
