Hi!
I’m an experience designer, educator, project leader, and recovering circus performer dedicated to fostering positive impact through innovative, joyful, relationship-driven experiences.
I’m recognized for creating exceptional events, inclusive learning environments, and collaborative team dynamics.
I’ve made playgrounds that teach about cooperation, multi-sensory poetry archives that get you ready to listen, large-scale games that connect you to the place you're in, floating jazz clubs to prototype new ways to interact with New York Harbor, and shippable box-sized date nights.
My background includes:
-
Experience Design and Event Production
-
Performing Arts
-
Multisensory Installations
-
Product Design
-
Facilitation and Teaching
-
Non-profit and Fundraising Work
-
Custom Experiences and Brand Promotion
I’ve learned that people connect deeply when it feels like they have discovered something for themselves. That is the promise of experience design - you create the moment where someone is both guided and free to discover something meaningful for themselves.
I am a people person. I love collaborating, consulting, problem-solving, and making moments to delight.
I’m based in NYC and happy to travel for an intriguing project.
