Design and the built environment are rich sources for investigations in everything I do. I am an architectural designer and public artist and I also teach young students about design through school workshops as the Western MA Program Coordinator for Learning By Design.
Past public art projects (in collaboration with my amazing friend Gretchen Schneider) include Sea The City (Boston, 2003), Look Up (Easthampton, 2004), Greetings From MY City (various cities, 2005 - present).
