I live in New York City. My work explores image, language, and narrative, focusing on human relationships and their environmental contexts. Recently, I organized a group drawing session at Verizon Headquarters, made a site-specific installation at Black Friday Everyday, led a workshop titled How To DJ for the Mason Gross Spring Festival, taught a graduate studio on collaboration at Rutgers, and published a poem about the East River in the Are.na Annual. I have been invited as a critic and to give lectures and workshops at MIT, Bard, RISD, Parsons, Columbia, Rutgers, and SVA. Previously, I served as an art director at The Museum of Modern Art and as a designer at 2x4, where I contributed to projects for Prada, Miu Miu, and USC Architecture among others. Currently, I teach at The New School, work as a design consultant, and make art primarily with film and video. I earned a BFA from Rutgers and an MFA from Yale.
