Throughout her practice, she combines sustainability, craftsmanship, emerging technologies, and human-centered design. She bridges traditional knowledge and new tools to create meaningful experiences.. Drawing from a background spanning fashion, costume, set design, industrial design, performance, education, installations, and cultural programming, she develops projects that connect observation with action, research with making, and strategy with human connection.
