About

I am a multidisciplinary artist blending music and design, drawn from the heart to inform both sound and space. My practice weaves piano, composition, conducting, and architectural thinking into cohesive experiences that aim to shape how people feel and move through environments.

As an educator and creator, I mentor students, compose for choirs and ensembles, and design immersive musical and spatial concepts. I believe music and architecture share a common future where thoughtful pedagogy, collaboration, and curiosity drive meaningful innovation.
