Collaborative Community Assembly Workshop Thursday, July 17 | 6–8pm MING Studios. Come play, collage, and imagine new possibilities for our shared future. Inspired by scenario cards and outcomes from New SUM game sessions, this hands-on workshop invites you to co-create elements for our growing diorama sets—miniature civic landscapes open to wild, symbolic, or solution-driven additions.

A Creative Asset

I am a reflective creator and collaborator, passionate about bringing collective visions to life through diverse forms of media. My work supports community organizations engaged in regenerative and intentional practices, fostering meaningful connections, belonging, and resilience.

I craft innovative marketing strategies that strengthen internal relationships and drive collective goals. By focusing on collaboration and efficiency, I deliver creative solutions that meet tight deadlines while maintaining a high standard of quality and impact.

Through purposeful artistry—such as New SUM, wearable pieces, and multimedia works—I explore new ways to connect, engage, and envision thriving communities.

Drawing from a rich background in marketing and design, I weave storytelling, strategy, and creativity into impactful projects that align with shared values and inspire collective action.

Currently Focused On

New SUM at Riparia

June 7 – August 2 at MING Studios

As part of the EcoGeoGlyphic Observatory’s upcoming show Riparia, New SUM will appear in an evolving installation at MING Studios. Through small sets and dioramas, visitors are invited to engage with the game’s participatory scenarios—each rooted in collaboration, reflection, and storytelling.

This installation reflects New SUM’s continued evolution as a living, community-centered work. Drawing from traditions in game design, visual narrative, oral history, and participatory art, the project explores real-world challenges through creative play.

Gameplay cards highlight global concepts with local relevance—from food systems and civic action to intergenerational knowledge and compassionate care. New SUM offers a welcoming, low-risk space for people of all backgrounds to imagine solutions, challenge barriers, and co-create shared futures—together.

Growing Together Since 2020

I co-founded the Treasure Valley Community Gardens Cooperative (TVCGCoop) in 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Like so many, I felt the urgent need for stronger local food systems—and for meaningful ways to connect with each other.

That need hasn’t gone away. If anything, it’s only grown.
We need each other—and good food—now more than ever.

TVCGCoop continues to bring people together across the Treasure Valley to grow, learn, and share. Check out what we’re up to at TVCGCoop.org, and if you’re curious about the gardens in your neighborhood, join us for one of our upcoming Summer Garden Tours! Visit the site for more.
