I create multidisciplinary compositions that amplify Black and queer voices, both present and prematurely past/passed, prioritizing public art that promotes solidarity and empowers people with new liberatory tools and experiences. My aspirations as an artist and educator are rooted in a love of creative problem-solving and an uncompromising commitment to advancing equity and media literacy.
Learn more about my practice through my exhibit Mirror, Mirror and the Reparations in Residence initiative.

My deepest curiosity lies in the communicative potential in the space between light and sound. As I studied jazz harmony and vocal arranging at Berklee, I fell in love with music theory, but found Western sheet music stifling. With my background in visual communication, I invested myself in the project of creating accessible, revolutionary tools via music notation. Some of these tools appear in Mirror, Mirror.
