ABOUT

The conditions we create shape what becomes possible.

Our relationships, environments, communities, and nervous systems all influence how we think, create, connect, and grow. I believe creativity isn't simply a talent we possess—it's a practice we cultivate by intentionally shaping the conditions that allow us to come alive.

For the past fifteen years, I've explored those conditions through classrooms, organizations, writing workshops, design studios, and one-on-one conversations. Today, I bring those experiences together through facilitation, experience design, creative practice, writing, and guiding individuals and organizations toward more connected, sustainable ways of creating, collaborating, and living.

I've led international writing workshops, taught at universities and community arts programs, guided hundreds of individuals, and spent more than a decade designing content and learning experiences for organizations ranging from startups to global technology companies. I’ve also screened short films around the United States and published fiction, poetry, essays, and visual art in literary journals and national magazines including the Los Angeles International Short Film Festival, Electric Literature, The Missouri Review, Joyland, and Business Insider.

More than anything, I consider myself a builder of conditions—creating spaces where creativity, connection, joy, and meaningful work become more possible.

MY APPROACH

Rest

We begin by slowing down enough to notice what’s actually happening — creatively, relationally, and within the nervous system.

Reconnect

Through reflection, embodiment, dialogue, and creative practice, we reconnect with clarity, momentum, and the deeper reasons the work matters.

Reset

Sustainable creativity isn’t built through force. It’s built through supportive structures, accountability, collaboration, and repeated practice over time.

Rebuild

From this foundation, we create differently — with more intention, connection, sustainability, and trust in ourselves and what’s possible.
