With Buck’s Rock, a nonprofit arts space, I have spent the last five summers teaching bookbinding and papermaking to learners aged 10-17. As manager of the Book Arts studio, I lead a teaching team and develop curriculum.

With Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, a leftwing political organization, I am a commissioned visual communications designer and active volunteer with the Arts, Ritual, and Culture network.

With Chompshop, an educational toy company, I create educational toy templates on a freelance basis.

With a user experience focused approach, my work is not tied to any particular medium or discipline, but plays out across the design of spaces, objects, graphics, written text, and performance. By first identifying key design objectives and only after deciding on what multidisciplinary, multimedia, and multiparticipatory tactics should be used to meet those objectives, design can be better targeted towards resulting change.

My primary objectives with any learning experience design project is to empower people and communities, facilitate joy and wonder, and inspire lifelong love of learning. 

I create art learning environments where experimentation feels safe and process matters more than perfection. I balance clear structure with open dialogue, treating teaching as a shared exchange in which learners shape the work alongside me. By honoring the whole person and offering multiple ways to engage, I support both individual expression and collective growth. I teach art as a way to question, connect, and respond to the world, helping learners build confidence, agency, and care through creative practice.

I am soon-to-graduate from Pratt Institute, where I am pursuing a bachelors of industrial design, minor in art and design education, and minor in book arts.

In my free time I play bass and guitar, host a Dungeons and Dragons group, and tear through Terry Pratchett novels. If I were a flavor of ice cream, I would be mint chocolate chip.
