about

Curator | Consultant | Arts Advocate

I thrive in the juggle—balancing projects, ideas, and collaborations to bridge creatives, institutions, and opportunities. With over 20 years of experience as an Exhibitions Director, Curator, and Consultant, I curate provocative, accessible exhibitions and guide artists through the complexities of their careers. My work exists at the intersection of art, design, and technology, with a strong commitment to amplifying gender-marginalized and queer voices. In 2020, I launched the Standard, a seasonal project space fostering relationships and accessible art collecting. Whether curating, strategizing, or advocating, I believe art has the power to change communities, so let's get building.

Some people thrive in the juggle—balancing projects, ideas, and connections with an instinct for movement and momentum. I am one of those people. I’m at my best when collaborating, problem-solving, and building bridges between creatives, institutions, and opportunities

As Exhibitions Director and Curator, I bring over 15 years of experience in curating provocative, accessible exhibitions that highlight contemporary art and design. My work is rooted in collaboration, critical inquiry, and a deep commitment to equity, experimentation, and accessibility. I often work alongside artists as a creative collaborator, supporting conceptual development and creating meaningful entry points for diverse audiences. I view curating as a civic act that can reshape narratives, build community, and amplify underrepresented voices.

My expertise spans guest curating, exhibition catalog contributions, jurying shows, and speaking at various venues. Beyond the gallery walls, I serve as a creative consultant, guiding artists through the complexities of their careers and aligning their work with broader opportunities. I thrive on strategic thinking and adaptability, supporting artists through public art commissions, institutional programming, and long-term relationship building. My curatorial focus intersects with design, technology, and sustainability, with a particular emphasis on gender-marginalized and queer cultures

In 2020, I launched The Standard, an experimental project space housed in my 220 sq. ft. garage. It operates seasonally as an open-air venue for emerging and underrepresented artists to exhibit work, connect with audiences, and engage in accessible art collecting.
 

Whether directing exhibitions, consulting with artists, or mentoring emerging curators, I am committed to fostering inclusive spaces where artists feel seen, ideas can take risks, and communities are invited into meaningful exchange. I don’t just observe the art world—I build within it. Let’s create something bold together.
