Our studio has been hustling hard as this new year crested into 2026. We debuted two new projects in NYC, and a third is about to launch this month. We debuted our first large-scale collaboration with Boston Lyric Opera, and produced the third annual WaveForms - our new-media community building event, this time hosted by our new BFF Emerson College. We are thrilled to be celebrating one of our most ambitious projects as well—Your Light is Central—in our beloved Central Square, Cambridge (note the fete at Street Theory coming up April 16). More on all this linked below and on the socials.

There’s a sharpness in the air lately—a sense of imbalance in power, a turning away from care, and a failure to honor the strength found in our differences. These moments remind us why we keep showing up—to make art, to stay rooted in community, and to work with purpose for a more just and connected world.

As an artist of color and designer I look for the ways these tensions are manifested, and how they can be amplified for awareness through art and design.
It was my first time to Las Vegas, I have always wanted to go to understand, get a taste, blink with the lights, and experience something absurd.
