precision * play

I am a storyteller, designer, kung fu practitioner, and community leader based in New York. Through words, images, and movement, I explore what happens when discipline creates space for discovery.

My work lives at the intersection of precision and play, where rigor and wandering coexist, and where the most interesting things tend to happen in the quietest and loudest moments in equal measure.

Legacy

A Chink in My Armor

They say you build a thick hide the more you endure. I still feel soft inside, though the metal armor I've slowly wrapped around my identity continues to dent and ding with the passing of time.
