I am an artist, designer, and sustainability professional. My formal education is in dance and theatre, as well as design skills built from online courses and hands-on work. I spent 2 months in 2023 living off-grid on a permaculture farm in the mountains of Costa Rica. From that, I gained skills in natural building, agroforestry and food processing, and had the opportunity to live in nature, work with a small, tight-knit community, and experience a more connected way of living. This was the impetus for starting my sustainable design company, which focuses on collaboration, education, natural materials, and the arts. My experience in the theatre have led me down several paths in the arts including: theatrical performance, education, production assistance, administrative assistance, set design, and music composition.
