What I’m Working On
I currently serve as a design consultant and project manager for interdisciplinary artist and cultural producer, Alisha B Wormsley. Her work contributes to the imagining of the future of arts, science, and technology through the black womxn lens, challenging contemporary views of modern American life.
I’m also a workshop coordinator at POST on Detroit’s East side, where I teach & develop woodworking classes while working with a number of craft instructors.
Past Work
Design & Carpentry Workshops
I’ve designed and facilitated basic carpentry classes held specifically for women and non-binary populations at spaces like Prototype PGH, Workshop PGH, Protohaven, and POST Detroit.
I’ve also led pre-college 3D Studio Portfolio Prep for the University of Michigan STAMPS School of Art and Design Pre-College.
George Nakashima Woodworkers
From 2014-2018, I served as the assistant designer at George Nakashima Woodworkers. I designed furniture alongside Mira Nakashima, advocating for the client while bringing out the beauty, proportions, and texture of an unparalleled collection of lumber.
Through independent art direction and editorial development, I have since worked to collaboratively re-shape how the studio shares their rich history and active legacy alongside talented creatives like Asad Pervaiz of Index and Anh Tuan Pham of For Office Use Only.
