I am an artist, designer and translator. I use images, language and the web to engage with communities in change and changing communities.
I grew up in California, then studied biology and art at Yale, where I worked at a traditional, student-run printing press and the library’s Art of the Book collection and also did graphic design for WYBC 1340am, the free-format college radio station. Next, I got my start as an artist and designer in New Haven on the team of the non-profit art center Artspace.
In 2006, I moved to Berlin to be part of the ever-changing, creative city and open my own studio in Friedrichshain. Here, I work on commissions from Berlin, New Haven and beyond, as well as my own art projects.
