I’ve been lucky to collaborate with some brilliant humans.
My most meaningful projects—from public sculptures to strategic consulting—have all been built in partnership with visionary artists, organizations, and community leaders. These collaborations reflect not just my creative skillset, but my belief that the best work happens when purpose meets trust. Below, you’ll find a selection of the clients, causes, and creative partnerships that have shaped my path.
