My work focuses on what makes us experience space the way we do,
and explores its use as a tool for social impact.
I love to design, then build things into existence.
I aim to bring harmony to the built world via interdisciplinary design,
and the unassumingly powerful medium of sound.
For well over a decade, I've dedicated my time and leveraged my manifold engineering, creative, and technical background to bring artistic, culture-creating endeavors to fruition.
Projects range in scale, and include the following:
○ Acoustical analysis, consultation, design, and creative solution implementation for clients utilizing architectural spaces to drive shifts in workplace, community-building, dining, and producer cultures. I deeply enjoy drawing on my design and fabrication background to create unique, bespoke high-performance acoustic technology disguised as art.
○ Stadium concert production for Björk, Fleetwood Mac, John Mayer and more.
○ Fabrication and installation of large-scale architectural sculptural work for museums such as SFMOMA and OMCA, and venues such as SFJAZZ and Palace of Fine Arts.
○ Independent film and music video production for notable local filmmakers such as Pete Lee, Ben Fee, and Ana Blue Grillo.
○ Creation of scientifically accurate listening and sound-based work environments with respected acoustician Bob Hodas for award-winning engineers and producers such as John Vanderslice, Michael Romanowski, Nahuel Bronzini and organizations such as One Union Recording, San Francisco Conservatory of Music, Oculus and Facebook.
