I am a creative producer based in Los Angeles.
I honed my career in technology by leading the Field Museum's multidisciplinary exhibition team to conceptualize and produce immersive multimedia, touchscreen interactives, digital labels, videos, and websites for over six years. As the scope and scale of the digital footprint expanded exponentially throughout the halls and galleries, I became the first person to occupy the role of Exhibitions Digital Project Manager and developed new, iterative processes that enabled our designers and technologists to thrive.
At the end of 2018, I left the Field to pursue an independent production venture, Workshop 108, alongside a Field colleague. My years of working as the client allowed me to seamlessly jump into museum teams to help them build out their projects and solve narrative and design challenges. I was recruited by Moving Brands in 2022 to help launch Moving Labs, an internal creative technology team focused on XR and experiential education.
I have a Master of Arts Management from Columbia College Chicago and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I majored in art history. In the years between undergraduate and graduate work, I taught ESL in Bologna, Italy, and back home in Madison. I moved west in 2020 after a decade of living and playing in Chicago. I currently live in Northeast L.A. with my family.
