Her work includes scenic and commercial set construction, theatrical production touring, exhibition preparation and curation, custom furniture fabrication, experiential design, design strategy, and a deep dive into the criminal justice system for her MFA Thesis at the School of Visual Arts Products of Design program in NYC.
