Partnering to Elevate Your Exhibitions
I bridge the gap between rigorous thematic research and meaningful public engagement. As a guest curator, I act as an architect for contemporary ideas, designing frameworks that invite artists to create site-specific, responsive works.
My approach helps institutions move beyond internal echo chambers. I begin by designing thematic frameworks that transform complex concepts, from environmental shifts to metaphysical narratives, into cohesive and navigable exhibition structures. I also manage the full project lifecycle, overseeing open calls, jury coordination, and artist management to ensure a seamless journey from the initial concept to the final installation. Furthermore, I focus on driving deep audience engagement by transforming exhibitions from static displays into experiential events where visitors move from passive observation to active participation.
I am currently open to guest curatorship opportunities and collaborative partnerships with museums, galleries, and cultural centers looking to catalyze new perspectives.
Awarded the 2025 Michael Crespo Community Excellence Fellowship.

The stunning campus of Woman’s Hospital stands as a testament to the visionary work of its principal architect and design director, Jack Ford. To honor his legacy, in 2012 Ford’s family dedicated a permanent memorial plaque and an abstract painting titled "Within the Cocoon" by well known local artist Mark Biletnikoff, which will hang within the hospital walls in perpetuity. Located near the first-floor conference center alongside the portraits of the hospital’s founders, the artwork beautifully mirrors Ford's signature curvilinear design principles, utilizing an abstract female image to symbolize the womb and the profound wonders of birth.
