Community-based practices provide the foundation for much of my research and creative work. Through long-term partnerships, participatory methods, and collaborative decision-making, I work with communities to identify shared goals, elevate local knowledge, and co-create public-facing outcomes.
These projects involve storytelling, relationship-building, facilitation, and collective reflection, resulting in installations, exhibitions, visual systems, and community-centered interventions.
Methods of Inquiry
Projects are shaped through a range of qualitative and participatory research methods selected to fit the context and goals of each collaboration. My process may include stakeholder and systems mapping, community recruitment, listening sessions, focus groups, archival research, oral histories, co-design and co-creation workshops, and collaborative assessment. Together, these methods help surface local knowledge, document lived experiences, build relationships and shared understanding, and evaluate the impact of the work over time.
