Who are we before culture tells us who we are?

I am an artist, writer, dialogue facilitator, and cultural strategist.

I collaborate with individuals and groups using art, dialogue, and immersive experiences to explore and challenge narratives that perpetuate separation and misunderstanding.

In doing so, I help create conditions for deeper connection with self and others, greater empathy, and more meaningful engagement across difference—in both life and work. One-on-one sessions are designed specifically for each person.

I help leaders become more human-centered by uncovering the cultural myths, assumptions, and unseen forces that influence their thinking, decisions, and leadership. Leaders who have worked with me develop a deeper capacity to navigate complexity, understanding how each decision shapes the well-being and interconnected relationships of staff, clients, families, communities, and society at large.

For more than a decade, I have facilitated dialogues on humanity in spaces including the Portland Art Museum, The New School in New York City, and a range of public, private, and gallery settings.

Over the past three years, I have collaborated with leaders of cultural and philanthropic organizations to advance community impact.

My artwork has been exhibited in museums and galleries across Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle.
