I serve others as an art doula, creative steward, and advisor; in my practice, I work with artists, creatives, do-ers, executives, writers, and mission-aligned organizations to realize creative and strategic projects, career and life transitions, and organizational change and culture initiatives. As a coach, I seek to build on what's working to support others in creating an ideal vision of their future. I also lead strategic planning workshops and present visual literacy seminars, writing intensives, and art tutorials for groups and individuals.
My approach is based on creative inquiry and underscored by deep forms of looking. Here, vision is critical, playful, and ultimately holds court as a site where the body, psyche, and social meet. Overall, I create uniquely intimate and personalized working experiences to bring to light the core values at the heart of my clients’ practices—and then set a plan for putting those priorities into motion.
As a culture producer, my body of work includes writing(s) on art, visual culture, and the role of the avisual senses (olfactory, haptic, sonic, and otherwise) in visuality. The focus of my research examines art’s capacity to develop critical understandings of necropolitics in contemporary culture. In this capacity, I’m also co-founder of Dissolve, an art collective where art-making and looking are personal, performative, entangled, and unexpected.
I am based in the U.S. Bay Area via the East Coast. My work and services are directly informed by my core values, experiences as a First Generation U.S.-born Latinx woman, and professional journey. During my 20-year career in the arts/museums, education, and social justice institutions, I focused on cultural equity in BIPOC, diaspora, and First Generation communities.
