I founded INCISIVE LLC to serve the not-for-profit and start-up communities. Working mostly with arts and social justice oriented companies, I've overseen projects including strategic plans, cultural programing, fundraising strategy/implementation, creative concepting for business/products, board development, audience engagement, and producing. I believe that we can serve our purpose, be it artistic programming, social change, or creating a product, while also conducting business in a way that aligns with our core principles and values. To that end, with all of my clients, I work in a framework of Ethical Institution Building, helping to align organizational structure with the mission and vision it strives to achieve. By doing this, any project can achieve its fundamental goals as well as begin to address systematic inequalities.Clients have included the Lower East Side Film Festival, Crux Inc., Art Omi, Eyebeam, North Star Fund, Anna Deavere Smith, ArtCity Eugene, Griffin Theatre, DBI Projects, Broadway for All, and many others. The INCISIVE process recognizes there are no one-size-fits-all solutions to the complex problems of your company and my approach is customized to the needs of each client's challenges.

My work with Crux began with my interest in their unique operating model - a cooperative designed to build community and wealth for Black creators, addressing decades of extractive practices by corporations and institutions. As a nerd for ethical structures I was hooked.Crux's mission speaks to those seeking to change and infuse justice into their practice. Our work has already begun manifest incredible projects including the Black Imagination Series, Iconic Black Panther: XR, partnerships with YBCA and the Actors' Theatre of Louisville, as well as many others.As an Executive Producer with Crux, it's been my pleasure to work along side some of the top talent in XR. I believe, as we all do at Crux, that Black storytelling is the future and the foundation of XR.
