Design Offerings and Process


N-toolkit : Currently leading creative strategy and direction for independent projects across cultural institutes, architecture, fashion, and performance art. Fostering a collaborative environment with cross-disciplinary creatives, including designers, filmmakers, and artists to develop innovative identity and scenography. In my design process, I engage with a range of unique tools and methodologies that span both multi-cultural and ecological design, utilizing materials and practices rooted in decolonial strategies influencing architectural façades, exhibition design, playscapes and collective kitchens.

Indivisibility
: A collaboration integrating fashion and architecture to create invisible states, that allows for exploration of spectral states of being. Spectral architecture crafts liminal mythospheres while exploring multisensory design strategies, including scentscapes. These spectre spaces enable archiving decolonial experiences to embody ecological and cultural landscapes of healing, care, and belonging.

Cosmological StoryTelling Spatial Device : Designing a multicultural sonic façade / curation tool for museums by investigating indigenous mythological narratives, symbologies, and methodologies from past ontological worlds to transmit unity through contemporary design. This includes creating spatial identity graphs that trace eco-cultural vibrations from archaeological artifacts that are situated in western museums today. While exploring sonic and ritualistic time based spatial practices employing decolonizing strategies and narrative materialities. This approach enables multicultural storytelling, transforming museums into dynamic spaces where cultural objects play a vital role in activating eco-cultural porosity, fostering knowledge production, and promoting active engagement.

Playscapes : I conduct research at both micro and macro planetary scales, incorporating geo-forms, biomimicry, and interspecies collaborative studies to develop sustainable objects and spaces. For example, A planetary game based on our Lenapehoking land that examines the colonial and capitalistic frameworks of natural ecologies that live on the shelves of our grocery stores measured and packaged to their contents, the game helps us unmeasure these domesticated material genealogies.

Collective Kitchens : Collective, genderless kitchen atmospheres that reframe foodscapes within multicultural contexts, encouraging people to come together and cook for one another, regardless of gender or race, in pursuit of an egalitarian domestic future.

I'm deeply committed to process and material research by delving into material ontologies and exploring innovative ideas through material alchemy and creative assemblages. To speculate on design for past, present and future bodies. Cultural forecasting and consulting on space-making, branding and identity for sustainable and future-forward creative products, spaces and initiatives. I'm excited to collaborate with cultural institutes and brands in New York that align with my vision for innovative and inclusive futures.
