about
I'm a producer, designer and artist living between Massachusetts & Portugal. I work internationally at the intersection of media art, science and culture.
I work with teams that create dynamic experiences around important topics like food systems, climate change, and emerging technologies. I have a background in collaborative design founded on systems thinking, which shapes the way I think. As a producer, I use design strategies to guide collaborations between stakeholders and specialists. Together we design imaginative engagements to prompt critical conversations and create impactful experiences.
I've collaborated across cultures and geographies on a range of works. Projects I've completed include large-scale installations for public spaces, art-science interventions, experimental eating events, exhibition curation, academic lectures (1h12m40s), and cultural consulting work.

Currently, I also spend time sewing, cooking meals, playing on the beach and learning Portuguese. For over a decade I've occasionally recorded violin tracks for a lo-fi-no-fi-dreampop-spacerock band.
