Creator
When I create projects, I look for the space where learning and narrative intersect. I believe our art should reflect our society, illuminate what’s working and what’s not working, and interpret our shared efforts to make the world a better place. I prefer to work in informal spaces that develop what Carol Dweck defines as a “growth mindset” (Dweck, 2006). When I offer this quality in the projects I make, I’m offering an alternative process for understanding how our world works and what makes us better humans.
