I am a catalyst, consultant, and designer of art and ecology residency programs. I've been known to work in art and science administration, circular economy, and dark sky preservation. Ethically, my work is dedicated to social innovation, reconnection to nature as teacher, and environmental health. As a leader in creating and administering programming, I provide services with emphasis on these themes:
- Art Administration - Art + Ecology for land based art residency programs.
- Co-creating experiences in organization for employees to access deep work and mental renewal through residency programs.
- Circular Economy Strategies involving participatory design methods.

My current Covid projects include:
- In Between | Research and Reconnection | Using a 1994 School Bus Conversion | We are using this experience as a research and design residency to look deeply into critical reconnection aka nature deficiency. What might a world look like if it was reconnected to the enchantment of the natural world?
- Design + Research | Pilot Program for mobile "do tank" and design residency focusing on designing for circularity and biological monitoring. For information please visit the FLOAT project page on this website. Expected launch 2022.
- Podcast Co-Creator | Culture & Ecology: Stories from the Confluence
- Programming & Residency Manager for PLAYA | Art and Science, an artist residency in the Oregon Outback that offers time and space for artists, designers, scientists and other creative inquiries.
- Co-founder of the Oregon Outback Dark Sky Network, a voluntary network that actively engages and involves individuals in celebration and preservation of one of the the last dark places in the lower 48.
