About

Multimedia developer β€” sure, that's what I did in school for two years. But I'm dynamic. I make art. I build awesome projects. I have a technical job and a people-person streak that doesn't fit on a business card.

I've been a lover of bicycles from a very young age. I was a bit of a scoundrel in my youth β€” and this community always had my back. Chinatown raised me, in the way a place can.

Now I'm giving back in little ways β€” a 200-foot slip and slide at the Arboretum, Painted Perches, whatever's next. Doing my best to leave this little corner of the world a little better than I found it.

Selected Projects

Illuminated Peoples

An interactive art installation created for an early rendition of China Town Remixed in Ottawa. The project invited participants to engage with light and community storytelling in a public setting.

The Safety Hug 613

Co-creator of a public art project rooted in connection and community care in Ottawa. The Safety Hug 613 brought people together around a shared gesture of belonging.

200-Foot Slip and Slide at the Arboretum

Organized and executed a 200-foot community slip and slide at the Arboretum in Ottawa β€” a joyful, logistically ambitious public event that drew a wide cross-section of the community.

Painted Perches

A small art project of hand-painted birdhouses placed throughout Ottawa's Chinatown. Each birdhouse is made by a local artist or neighbour, has its own page on the trail map, and is cared for by a community host.
