Who are we before culture tells us who we are?
I am an artist, writer, dialogue facilitator, and cultural strategist.
I collaborate with individuals and groups using art, dialogue, and immersive experiences to explore and challenge social narratives that encourage misunderstanding and separation. One-on-one sessions are designed specifically for each person.
My collaboration practice creates conditions that support self-determination and autonomy, deepen connection with self and others. They also foster more meaningful and reciprocal connections across difference in both life and work.
I help leaders become more human-centered by uncovering the cultural myths, assumptions, and unseen forces that influence their thinking, decisions, and leadership.
Leaders who have worked with me develop a deeper capacity to navigate complexity. They understand that every decision reverberates across the interconnected lives of staff, clients, families, communities, and society at large.
Over the past three years, I have collaborated with leaders of cultural and philanthropic organizations to advance community impact.
They learn that honoring human dignity is not separate from organizational success—it is the foundation of it.
For more than a decade, I have facilitated dialogues on humanity in spaces including the Portland Art Museum, The New School in New York City, and a range of public, private, and gallery settings.
My artwork has been exhibited in museums and galleries across Los Angeles, Portland, and Seattle.

Broadened self-awareness
Expansive views on culture
Seeing beyond cultural differences
Embodying discomfort as growth
Deeper relational understanding
New perspectives on connection
Greater appreciation for nuance
More meaningful communication
Humanity collaborations are
multi-dimensional experiences.
We use curiosity and discomfort as gateways to understanding the illusion of otherness.
Another reality is that we're so busy living that we forget we're human beings. Through expansive guided inquiry, we discover new ways of seeing and being.
