About Me
I am a creative producer and curator working in art, design, and technology between Philadelphia, New York, and San Francisco. A highly effective communicator and collaborator, I have been instrumental in developing and producing exhibitions, events, cultural programming, public art commissions, fundraising initiatives, content platforms, and original print and digital content.
I began my career as a gallery director and creative consultant, and in 2011 I was tapped by the Brooklyn Museum to launch the Brooklyn Artists Ball, an annual event featuring immersive, experiential, and performative art, music, and culinary experiences. It quickly grew into the the Museum’s largest and most important fundraising event, attended by more than 800 guests and raising over $2 million annually to support exhibitions and educational programming.
Recently, I was working at the intersection of art, design, and technology as the Director of Content for Depict, an end-to-end platform for discovering, collecting and displaying digital art. While at Depict, I oversaw content strategy and production, managed strategic partnerships and community relations with contributors, and led the launch of the Depict Frame – a custom-designed, Wi-Fi-enabled, ultra HD digital art canvas.
Currently, I am a producer and curator at Dolby Labs, providing art direction, strategy, and curation for the Dolby Art Program – an ongoing program of new media art installations, activations, and online content exploring the leading edge of audio and imaging technologies.
With a passion for art, food, and community, I am also a founding member of Mixed Use, a curatorial collective presenting pop-up exhibitions, cultural programming, and our signature art and culinary events which pair local visual artists with acclaimed chefs. In addition, we recently launched, Mixed Dranks!, a quarterly networking event bringing together female-identified members of the local creative community for drinks conversation, and coalition-building.
When not working on a creative project, you can find me at the barre studio with my squad, cruising PHL on my bike, or baking up something tasty.
