As the Creative Director and Owner of Older & Wiser Co., I design imaginative concepts for shared art experiences + execute them with a team. From editorial photography + videography to installations + exhibits, my mission is to create moving, influential works that connect us to the human experience + provoke deep personal reflection.

O&W started as an outlet for creative writing + conceptual design, but organically grew into a resource for artist development. Connecting my own network of entrepreneurs, small businesses, and non-profits, led me to launch a series of hands-on classes that taught artists how to develop their voice. These workshops, apprenticeships, collaborative productions, and social gatherings for other artists helped inspire other creatives while building a new foundation of support for my own ideas. Over time I was able to spearhead larger projects thanks to the peers who would “share the wealth” for the sake of making cool art together.

In 2023 I took on a capstone project “Undergrad”. This series included Thesis, a summer apprenticeship for young artists and Commencement– an interdisciplinary art installation ft. photography projected on silk screens + accompanied by live music.  For the first time I had zero anxiety and knew I could rely on experience and insight from my development as an artist + the talents of many others contributing to carry it through.

Next, I’m stepping into a few teaching artists positions + taking on installation clients!
