Biography

You want to know more about me? Obsessed, much?

As a Designer,

My design practice employs rigorous curiosity, ravenous creativity, and radical care to create powerful change. With a diverse skillset spanning design, music, and theatre, I create deeply considered experiences which inform and transform.

In my career thus far, I have enjoyed a wide variety of roles touching some combination of research, brand, product, and service design.

I am currently a UX/UI Designer with Healthworx Studio, designing services and building products for healthcare startups.

As a Composer,

I use sound as a means of articulating and amplifying complex emotions, seizing control over the crushing flow of time, and choreographing physical space. Music channels and gives form to the energy that sweeps through us all.

My music has found a home with Thompson Street Opera, Strange Trace, the International Computer Music Festival, Boston Opera Collaborative, New Opera West, the Pittsburgh Opera, and more.

I am currently a Composers & the Voice fellow with American Opera Projects.
