/ I am an American artist based in Abu Dhabi working in socially engaged art and installation. My practice brings together academics, architects, scientists, and community collaborators to develop new ways of living and to produce knowledge grounded in lived experience.

Shaped by over a decade in the Emirates, my research explores how homeland persists within migrant communities. My work is driven by fieldwork, oral histories, and co-design processes. Current projects include developing a motion-capture archive of Black dance with MIT’s Immersion Lab (supported by Meta and the Brooklyn Museum), designing a public park for the Abu Dhabi government, and leading a multidisciplinary team to reimagine overcrowded low-income housing in the UAE.

​

My work has been presented at institutions and exhibitions including the Public Art Abu Dhabi Biennial, Fikra Graphic Design Biennial (Sharjah), Abu Dhabi Art: Beyond Emerging (59th Venice Biennale), Jameel Arts Centre, Dubai Design Week, and Tokyo Arts and Space. My projects have been featured by the BBC, CNN, GQ, and Architectural Digest. I hold a Master’s degree from MIT’s Art, Culture, and Technology program and have studied at Harvard and the University of Oxford. I am a former Global Creative Director at Huawei.
