nice to meet you

I am a service designer and leader building creative solutions to public problems. I center historically marginalized communities to lead more equitable and imaginative city, state and federal systems. Some of my recent work includes:

• Making playful and educational guides engaging kids, teens, caregivers and teachers across the city for the inaugural 2025 Boston Public Art Triennial. These products test and implement years of neighborhood engagement research and strategy my team and I led alongside facilitating the Community Advisory Group.

• Leading a Restorative Justice Co-Design program for over 100 Boston Public High School students and staff across three years. Combining the care work of restorative circle-keeping with the imaginative, generative work of helping participants prototype the change they seek to transform their school communities in partnership with the Transformational Prison Project.

• Facilitating a more equitable, caregiver-centered after-school enrollment process by guiding the Cambridge Caregiver Council in influencing the Cambridge Department of Human Services Program. 

Together, I envision a world where we weave between systems with consistent relationships that shape more equitable, imaginative public services. To nurture my nuanced approach to this vision, I make public art across disciplines like meditation, taiko, and music.
