artist in media
Objective: my work is a probing into the ways images are transformed as icons into the
“substance” of media-language: as an index, bit, and pixel; A trans media universe of
sensory stimulation with a storyteller in the center. I have 4+ years of working with New-
York arts and non-profits as a designer as well as developing my own of performance
portfolio. I am ever growing as an artist and continue to innovate where I go.
