I’m a sculptor, a sound artist, a musician, a carpenter, a decent cook, a good friend...

Making things makes sense to me. Making things make sense makes sense to me.

Making things that make sound for people to come together around is what I love the most. Making touchable, experiential, performative art is just the best.


I’ve been to school for this stuff. Got a bachelors degree in visual art from the University of New Mexico (where I mostly made music). And a masters degree in electronic music from Mills College (where I mostly made sculptures).


You might have seen my work at places like the Market Street Prototyping Festival (2016 & 2017), the Megapolis Festival, the Incantations Sound Art Festival (2018 & 2019), performances at places around San Francisco like Yerba Buena Center for the Arts or Fort Mason with the inkBoat dance company or at the Art in Nature Festival in Oakland with my performance group The Analogous Ensemble.
