Throughout the course of my career in the for-profit and nonprofit worlds, I have delivered meaningful – and lasting – social and business impact as an influential C-level business builder and entrepreneur, a philanthropic programs director, board director and advisor, and advocate. With experience spanning architecture, technology, and cultural strategy, my work is rooted in aligning vision with execution to create sustainable outcomes and systems-level change.

I founded Uncommon Practice to bring that work into focus: partnering with foundations, family offices, and mission-driven organizations on philanthropic strategy, AI and technology adoption, and cross-sector program design at the intersection of arts, technology, and civic life.

Prior to founding Uncommon Practice, I served as Director of Arts at the Knight Foundation, where I oversaw a $90M+ national portfolio and led $75 million in grantmaking to advance digital transformation in the arts. I launched the Catalyst Forum and played a key role in initiatives including Knight New Work and the Knight Media Forum.

Before Knight, I founded SproutsIO Inc., a food technology company born from my research at the MIT Media Lab. I led the venture from concept through full commercialization, raising venture and private funding and securing a patent portfolio prior to exiting the business. SproutsIO was recognized by the Wired Innovation Fellowship, INK Talks, and the Cartier Women's Initiative, among others.

My earlier work spans architectural practice at Arquitectonica International, exhibition design at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and an artist residency at Eyebeam Art & Technology Center. I co-founded the design studio fluxxlab and have taught at Columbia University, CUNY, and Pratt Institute. I have served on the advisory boards and committees of major non-profits such the Joyce Foundation, The Underline, The Center for Arts and Innovation, YoungArts and the Wolfsonian-FIU, and hold architecture degrees from the University of Miami and Columbia University, and a Master's from the MIT Media Lab.

In the evenings you can often find me tinkering in the print studio.
