I am an artist and arts organizer based in Austin, Texas. I hold an MFA from the California College of the Arts and a BA in Communications from St. Edward's University. My artistic practice spans various mediums and forms, including installations, public art, and immersive experiences.
I’ve participated in numerous exhibitions, such as Islands at the UNESCO Media Arts Exhibit in Austin, TX, in 2023, Re(cognition at Nicole Longnecker Gallery in Houston, TX, in 2022, and Monumental at SXSW in 2019. I’ve also been commissioned for public art projects like Islands in 2022 and Triple-Digit Trouble in 2024.
Beyond my artistic practice, I’m deeply involved in community art initiatives. I am the owner and founder of And&And Studio, and I co-founded and co-directed dadageek School for Creative Coding and Expressive Tech from 2015 to 2018. I also organized the Interactive Installation Meetup from 2014 to 2018.
I enjoy giving talks and presentations at various events and institutions. Some of my talks include "The Power of Tech-Driven Public Art During the Pandemic" at Texas A&M University in 2021, "Tech Art and the Future of Experience Design" at Midwest UX in 2017, and the keynote address "Deepening Your Craft Through Tech Art" at the IBM Design Craft Conference in 2017.
