LABS
The LAB is an exploratory space for my experimental work. Here I’m able to highlight all of my research-based projects, case studies, and curatorial or products in development. I love collaborating with other creatives to develop new ventures, it allows me a forum to share the multifaceted areas that keep my creative DNA flowing through my veins.
