About

I’ve never been able to fit into just one box, and I like it that way. My life is a blend of art, strategy, and human connection—whether I’m curating an exhibition, shaping the vision for a startup, or gathering people for meaningful conversations. I love bringing seemingly different worlds together. At my core, I’m a storyteller

My offers & skills

Clarity, first and foremost - of thought, of structure, of story. I can help shape messy, beautiful ideas into systems that hold people, not just tasks. I offer strategic listening, creative architecture, narrative framing, and the kind of pattern recognition that comes from living across disciplines. Whether you need a map, a moodboard, a manifesto or a mirror - I’m here for the in-between work that makes everything else make sense.

Pattern recognition across disciplines
Narrative design and poetic framing
Strategic intuition
System mapping with a human lens
Deep listening and conceptual synthesis
Aesthetic direction and symbolic thinking
Translating ambiguity into structure without flattening nuance

What I want to engage in

I’m looking for projects that are still figuring themselves out - where there’s room to think out loud, build slowly, and shape things from the inside. I’m especially drawn to roles where I can bring structure to creative or complex ideas: mapping systems, shaping early narratives, or helping people work better together. I like projects with heart, but also a bit of mess - startups, experiments, community tools, anything values-driven and still in the making.

Collaborative tools that actually work
Systems thinking applied to real life
How people make meaning (and mistakes)
Community design that isn’t extractive

What I need help with

I need help turning vision into rhythm - taking the big ideas and building the scaffolding that holds them day to day. I’m juggling a few layered, creative projects, and could use support with structure, consistency, and momentum. Specifically: help with digital systems (Notion, Airtable, etc.), visual design for decks and docs, someone to bounce with on narrative framing, and maybe just a second brain to help me keep all the threads from tangling.

Mission
My aim is to create meaningful connections—whether through art, community-building, or cultural curation—that foster collaboration, amplify underrepresented voices and drive social impact.
