00. My work attends to relationships — of all kinds — in space.
I specialize in sound — listening, composing, designing, engineering — as an epistemology of emotion and perception. My sound practice extends across installation, film, and video game score, as well as recorded albums and live performance. I also collaborate with and represent other composers and producers at Didactic Sound Group (founder) and Lo Fi Music (partner).
My artistic, academic, and personal interests consider how humans might live regeneratively with one another and with ecosystems. As such, I extend the attentiveness cultivated through my sound practice to the broader natural world. This personal focus has led me to periods of study at Harvard College (B.A.) and Harvard’s Graduate School of Design (M.U.P.) I continue to deepen this exploration through engagement with regenerative land practices and emerging research on how sound might support ecological repair. Across my work, I prioritize understanding how curiosity, attentiveness, and subtle intervention in relational systems — human, sonic, and ecological — might reveal pathways towards flourishing.

Framework II:
Toward Transformation: A Regenerative Recovery Approach to Post-Disaster Planning
Contributions:Original framework, Thesis submitted to the Department of Urban Planning and Design, Harvard University Graduate School of Design
Abstract:
By weaving together regenerative development and post-disaster recovery frameworks, this thesis develops an original theory of regenerative recovery. This framework guides forward-thinking planners and built environment practitioners to thread the needle between net-positive climate development, resiliency, and cultural transformation.
The key findings anchor the theoretical framework in a real-world scenario. In so doing, the piece addresses challenges of scale, timing, and critical decision-making practices that must be considered when facing acute pressures in a post-disaster context. Ultimately, the work demonstrates that if planners hone these tools for anticipating crises, regenerative cultural transformations can become an active part of a global strategy to combat ongoing climate disaster.
