I am an interdisciplinary creative thinker and maker, rooted in community and urban forestry (B.S., UW‑Stevens Point) and trained in landscape architecture (M.L.A., University of Oregon). My work spans public art, installations, and data-driven environmental art, all built for environmental interpretation—communicating data, natural processes, and relationships within the field of ecology.
My practice thrives on interdisciplinary collaboration—working alongside scientists, designers, and community members—to create projects that are rigorously informed, visually compelling, and contextually grounded. Through layers of meaning and accessible formats, I seek to spark wonder, prompt ecological literacy, and support community bonds with the landscapes we share.
I draw heavily from material culture—using familiar or site-specific forms to bridge ecological insight with everyday experience. Objects like trail signage, taxidermy displays, fishing lures, or forestry tools. Embedding environmental culture—the lived traditions, tools, and values that shape how people relate to land—is essential to my work. By working within local cultural frameworks, I aim to deepen engagement and encourage stewardship that feels personal, accessible, and place-based.
