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.
The Extended Version...
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 20 years of experience in curating provocative, accessible exhibitions that highlight contemporary art and design. My expertise spans guest curating, exhibition catalog contributions, jurying shows, and speaking at various venues. I have worked across art-centered and academic institutions, meaningfully shaping programming that connects artists and audiences.
As a creative consultant, I guide artists through the creative process, offering tailored management and insights to help align their work with broader opportunities and help them navigate the complexities of their careers. My curatorial focus emphasizes the intersections of art, design, and technology, with a particular dedication to amplifying gender-marginalized and queer cultures. Whether curating exhibitions, guiding artists through public art commissions, or shaping institutional programming, I am committed to amplifying underrecognized voices and making art more inclusive and impactful.
I bring a versatile skill set that allows me to adapt to various challenges and opportunities. While my work spans multiple disciplines, my core commitment remains the same: fostering meaningful connections and advocating for the power of art and design. I thrive on strategic thinking, problem-solving, and collaborating with creatives to bring ambitious projects to life.
In 2020, at the height of the pandemic, I launched the Standard project space in my 220 sq. ft. garage, transforming it into an open-air venue that supports local creatives. Operating seasonally, the Standard hosts folks with a broad range of intersectional identities, fostering relationships and accessible art collecting.
I don’t just observe the art world—I build within it. I thrive on the dynamism of collaboration, the challenge of new projects, and the belief that art has the power to shape communities. Let’s create something bold together.
