Participatory Artist. Strategist. Time Traveler.
Art as a portal to new worlds.
I use art, story, and collective imagination to open up what's possible, and bring people together to shape what comes next.

Biography
I’m an NYC-based community artist, storyteller, facilitator, and creative strategist based in New York City. For more than 15 years, I’ve worked across 20 countries alongside grassroots movements, communities, schools and school districts, nonprofits, international organizations, and global movements.
My practice moves between art and design, futures thinking and visioning, and creative strategy, sometimes weaving all three together and sometimes going deep into one. I might create the visual world for an idea, facilitate a process that helps people imagine what could come next, or build the creative strategy that turns a big vision into something people can see, feel, participate in, and make their own.
My work is rooted in story and made through collaboration. I move between illustration, photography, animation, collage, mixed media, participatory design, and immersive experiences, whatever a project needs to come alive.
But making the work is only part of the practice. I design ways for people to enter into it: bringing communities together to surface stories and collective memory, facilitating teams through questions about the future, or building participatory processes where people can imagine, make, and shape something together.
Depending on the project, I might work independently, embed with an existing team, co-create directly with a community, or assemble a network of artists, designers, facilitators, and other collaborators around an idea. There’s no single style or formula; the people, purpose, and possibilities of each project shape what we make and how we make it.
I’m the founder of The Linocut, my creative home, named for a printmaking tradition that has long put art into the hands of ordinary people as a tool for expression, resistance, and change.
I’m also Co-Founder of Resistance Communications, a creative collective working alongside communities and movements for justice, and Co-Founder of Vision Not Victim, a global participatory program supporting girls to reimagine their stories and lead change in their communities.
