Large-scale project artist · Atlanta, Georgia
I get inspired by multiple art forms and dream up ways to connect them in one immersive or performative piece — using the classical tradition not as a frame for prestige, but as a container strong enough to hold the full weight of real human stories.

Selected works
A tornado recovery oral history. 100+ community voices woven into a multimedia live performance with the LaGrange Symphony Orchestra and Southern Arc Dance, built over five years of relationship with a community that had to remain strong for each other.
Visit the project ↗Schubert's Winterreise — the pinnacle of the art song repertoire — woven with the recorded voices of mothers living through housing instability with their children. Coverage from KQED.
Full projectA touring concert experience for one vocalist, built around custom-commissioned new music from the UK, Germany, the US, and Norway — exploring identity, illusion, and the soul through electronics, voice, and live instrument. I served as creative director, shaping the concert architecture around performer Emily Thorner's dual practice as world-class singer and spiritual healer.
Full projectThe next large-scale project is in its early relationship-building phase. More when the time is right.
The practice
My process begins with listening — not as research, not as data collection, but as a creative act in itself. Every large-scale project starts with a period of genuine relationship-building with the people whose story the work will carry: six months to a year before a community trusts at the level this kind of work demands.
What emerges is not a document of what happened. It is a space — a live event, an installation, an immersive performance — where the people who lived the story can finally sit inside it together. That is what the classical tradition makes possible, when you use it right: a container strong enough to hold the full weight of real human experience.
Other dimensions of the work
Story intelligence for organizations and brands ready to build something that lasts. Deep listening, narrative strategy, and the creative infrastructure to make it visible.

Art is the glue because art expresses the purpose. If you're building something that matters to a community — an opening, an anniversary, an arrival, a reckoning — and you want that moment to stitch people together rather than just mark the occasion, I want to hear from you.
