I develop visual systems, spatial experiences, and image-led narratives across photography, archives, exhibitions, lighting, and public-facing creative projects.

GardenFest is a large-scale seasonal lighting experience at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden that transforms the landscape into an immersive nighttime environment. My work translates curatorial themes into site-specific lighting concepts, color palettes, visual moments, and practical installation plans across garden spaces. The project brings together environmental art direction, lighting design, spatial planning, production coordination, and visitor experience design, with attention to atmosphere, wayfinding, safety, infrastructure, and the living landscape.
