About

 
 

As a musician, artist, and educator, I explore personal geographies, collective memory, and transformation through improvisation.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to perform and exhibit my work at CultureHub/La MaMa Galleria, Aronson Gallery, Temp Art Space, Mozilla, SIGGRAPH, ACM Conference on Creativity and Cognition, Critical Themes at SVA, CBGB, KEXP and NPR.

I’ve been fortunate to work with great people. In addition to working with the amazing students in my classrooms, projects I learned and engaged in collaboration and relationships of creative exchange that reward well beyond their completion include being a Part-time Assistant Professor at Parsons co-authoring the BFA Design + Technology curriculum, writing the Creative Coding Minor, initiating a Creative Technology Pre-College Academy partnership with New Visions for Public Schools, and student/faculty workshops at ISDI Mumbai.

I’m currently based in Taipei, Taiwan.
