Artist Biography:

Born in Pennsylvania, my journey started in funeral service, where I was immersed in intricate, disciplined rituals and absorbed the fundamentals of sculpture, floral arrangements, and lighting. Fascinated by human experiences related to loss and the search for meaning, I initially aimed for psychiatric nursing but shifted to technology due to a deep dislike of the healthcare industry. Two months prior to graduating with a degree in tech comm, I joined IBM, where I nurtured a deep fascination with artificial intelligence. Over the years, my professional journey has been a dynamic expedition, taking me through the corridors of top-tier companies such as IBM, Verizon, Walmart, and the Walt Disney Company. I am currently pursuing a Masters degree in Information Design and Strategy from Northwestern University.
