hello!

I am an assemblage of:
practices / movements / attunements
learnings / teachings / observations
architectures / pedagogies / technologies
families / friends / societies / cultures

I aim to be present.

Hi there.
I am changing.
Please stay tuned.

*

currently, I will describe myself as a practitioner, educator, and artist,

aiming to be in direct service to two of the primary practices that shape our lives:

the spatial and the relational.
