Art, Engineering, & Change-Making

As an artist, playwright, engineer, and facilitator, I've led and collaborated in a number of projects I'm proud of. A few of the most significant are highlighted below.

Project Amelia

Award-winning immersive theater piece on the ethics of AI and the fate of our data. Written and conceived by me, produced by Bricolage Production Company. The audience steps into a near-future world where a global tech monolith - Aura - is about to launch an advanced AI, and the audience must help decide its fate.
