R E S U M E

Professionally, I have experience in Visual Consultation, lecturing, workshops, educational facilitation, Grant Writing, Copy Editing, and Project Management. I am very good at Organizational Tasks, Administrative/Schedule Management, Graphic Design, Art Handling, Gallery Installation + Renovation. I can Creatively Direct, Curate, Produce, and Manage Live Events, including Ticket Sales and security.

While material Design is my specialty, my skills range from industrial biochemical processes to domestic handicrafts and luxury fabrication. During my BFA, I was technically trained in Industrial and Graphic design, woven and knit structural engineering, natural and synthetic dye techniques, 3D/digital/hand printing, paper-making, pattern-making, leather, latex, felt and embroidery. My natural talents lie in the creative process, conceptual development, technical fabrication, prototyping, material design, artistic/conceptual direction, and visual consultancy. I've successfully Authored federal Grants and Academic Articles seamlessly integrating high-calibre scientific detail while incorporating critical Artistic, Architectural and Feminist Discourses.

I'm technologically proficient in CAD software such as Rhino, Fusion360, Blender, Adobe Suite, Microsoft Office, Figma, and similar tools. I've gained extensive experience with rendered modelling and simulation-based, animated visual media. Since my undergraduate studies, my creative problem-solving approach has led to collaborative projects with biological laboratories and material engineers. This has given me hands-on experience with genetic protein design, graphene nano-scaffolds, aerogels, bio-concretes/ceramics, and organic polymer chemistry.
