Original Works

My primary performance practice blends original music, storytelling, and sound design to create distinctly feminine worlds. I explore themes of female rage, prescribed hysteria, and secret interior lives wrapped in magical realism. Below are stills from a few of my favorite original pieces.

Designer + Stylist

I came up as a designer in the New York DIY theatre scene, eventually gravitating toward film and commercial photography. I have worked with food and prop stylists to create campaigns for brands such as Budweiser, Blue Moon, Pink, Philosophy, Aperol, Jack Daniels, and more. Whether I am working for a high end product shoot or an indie film, my passion for visual storytelling unites my work. Below you will find images from a few of my favorite projects that I have helped bring to life as a lead designer.
