My artistic journey began by the need to fill my life with things that brought me joy. Crafting something both beautiful and functional from my own imagination with my own hands brought satisfaction and pride. Ultimately my art is for myself. My art expresses spectacle, whimsy, rebellion, power, individuality, childlike imagination, and fun. As a theater maker, the same drive is behind all my work: What would make me happy? What would make me proud? What would express myself in ways I cannot explain with words? I hope sharing my joys working as a set designer, art maker, filmmaker, and creative with an audience incites understanding and inspiration for others. My lived experience as a queer person of color impacts me and influences the way my art interacts with the world. Breaking systemic barriers in the arts and making art and theater accessible to all is a long term goal of mine.
