about

I am a New York-based artist, educator, and brand strategist.

This website

I’ve designed this website myself using very limited coding skills. It’s a conscious choice. I prefer the voice of an awkward HTML line to a templated web page with sound graphic design. There’s nothing wrong with templates, but I’ve outgrown the shape of them.

In Laurel Schwulst's essay My website is a shifting house next to a river of knowledge. What could yours be? (quoted above) she imagines a website as a house, a cloud, or a garden — something alive, something yours. Not a storefront. Not a resume. Reading it, I felt the pressure of self-representation lift a little. What I want is always changing. I give myself permission to play.
