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 artists, organizations, and community leaders who are serious about the work in front of them. These collaborations don’t just show what I can make; they show what becomes possible when clear purpose meets real trust and shared responsibility.
Below is a selection of the clients, causes, and creative partnerships that have shaped my path and the kind of impact I care about making.
