a letter to my future self

i don't have a five-year plan. i have questions, curiosities, and a growing collection of dreams. i'm interested in creating spaces where art, movement, and community can help people feel more connected, more playful, and more at home in themselves. these are some of the seeds i'm hoping to nurture in the years ahead.

vision

👇

now

meet more creators

✍️

💭

creating intergenerational spaces where creativity, wellbeing, and connection are accessible to everyone.

what would you want the future to look like

future considerations

how do we create spaces where people feel safe enough to express themselves authentically?

how can we make healing feel more communal?

how can we encourage younger generations to stay connected to their creativity when they grow up?

how might healthcare and the arts work together to support whole-person wellbeing?

what spaces are missing in our communities?

what im dreaming about

future projects

painting with movement

project type: collaborative body movement & painting

for this project, i would lead a guided mindful somatic session with individuals. this would then evolve into dance/art therapy. gallons of paint. Allowing strangers to release whatever energies that they have stored inside their bodies

optional/encourage: contact improv (dance). collaboration between individuals in dance

tiny invitations to live

project type: participatory public art

for this project, i would hide 50 small matchboxes throughout seattle in places where people naturally pause (park bench, library, coffee shop, trailhead, or bus stop). each matchbox would contain a tiny object and an invitation to connect.

guided curiosity journal

project type: fill-in journal

for this project, i want to share my experience of pushing myself out of my comfort zones -- living in a van, the people i meet, small moments of peace, little joys. the format of the journal invites the user on a parallel journey; challenging themselves through weekly challenges, reflections, and new perspectives.

becoming together

project type: in-person event

this project inspires community collaboration.

shared meals, meditation, mindfulness, movement, music, play. all art forms invited to participate during a live ambient soundscape set-up. participants will have the option to pick up challenge prompts (reflection, connection, or movement based).
