ABOUT
MISSION
I design and implement engaging graphics, multimedia content, and exhibitions for communities to connect with collections and cultural heritage in new and stimulating ways that create lasting relationships between cultural organizations and audiences.
VISION
I will be a changemaker through creative, multimodal storytelling and connecting communities to collections and cultural heritage, tangible and intangible. In doing so, I will empower people to better understand themselves, one another, and our shared world, and to imagine and create equitable futures for all.
