About

I started in cultural work. As Programs Director and Gallery Manager at Storefront for Art and Architecture, I led the creation of exhibitions and programs, and learned how much the framing of an idea shapes how it lands. From there I've gone on to produce exhibitions with the Guggenheim, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, LUMA Foundation, the New Museum’s IdeasCity, The Shed, and A/D/O, among others. With Superbright and Vrai Pictures, I produced interactive experience premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival, SXSW, Sonar+D, and the Wall Street Journal’s Future of Everything.

Inside companies, I helped build the Immersive Design team at BUCK, produced spatial stories and led research in Mixed Reality and Machine Intelligence at The New York Times R&D, and worked on spatial computing apps (XR & AI) at Meta’s Reality Labs. Across these settings, what I kept coming back to was collaboration — how people with different mental models see the same problem, move together, and build something that holds. That’s the work I do now at Togethering, where I'm a founding partner. We support leaders and organizations navigating systemic change through collaboration design.

In parallel, I've kept a serious yoga and movement practice. Over time it became its own thread of work. Teaching, facilitating, and making sound-based mindfulness experiences are how I support people on the individual side of the same question — what makes a person available to their own creative life? I offer private and group yoga sessions for regulation and orientation, and guide meditation and immersive sound journeys with Collective Resonance and Open Tones, integrating live instrumentation, voice, and electronic synthesis.

As an educator I've created courses on storytelling for the Canadian Film Centre, taught graduate-level electives, and been invited as a guest critic at Columbia, NYU, and Harvard. Independently, I was a founding partner of Sonic Platforms, a sound-first media collective integrating art and technology. As an artist, I've shown work at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Walker Art Center, and the Seoul Biennale.

I trained formally as a curator, artist, musician, and yogi. I hold a B.S. in Philosophy and an M.S. in Critical, Curatorial and Conceptual Practices in Architecture from Columbia’s Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, where I focused on spatial theory and practice as it applies to media ecology and art. I'm a 400+ RYT yoga teacher specializing in Katonah®, with training in Hatha and Vinyasa lineages under Abbie Galvin, Benjamin Sears, Dages Juvelier Keates, Anton Brandt, Grace Dubery, Tony Lupinacci, Rose Erin Vaughn, Dharma Mittra, and others. In martial arts I studied under Philip Cruise, John Turnbull, and others.

Supporting people to realize their creative potential is what inspires me to facilitate healing and change. I've practiced art and mindfulness since I was young, and it transformed my life. Here's my story…

I grew up in California surrounded by art, music, indigenous community, and nature. Our home was always full of creativity and global perspectives—my parents often invited artists and international students from Africa, Asia, and Australia to live with us in our home. Multiculturalism was a part of life.

But I was a rambunctious kid, and obsessed with Power Rangers, so my dad enrolled me in martial arts. Tae Kwon Do taught me discipline and respect, but more than that it taught me how to hold attention and develop internal awareness.

These influences led me to study philosophy, art, and music. My artistic practice became an inquiry into these overlapping where I kept circling a similar question—how can we find meaning and belonging in creative collaboration?

I went on to work in the art world producing exhibitions globally, then moved into design and tech, leading research and building new products with massive teams and complex systems. I learned and built many tools, but the superpower that emerged as most important was empathy and emotional intelligence. People do their best work when they trust and feel understood.

I encountered yoga as a teenager, but it wasn't until a debilitating injury that I really committed to a longevity practice. Also at that time I had the insight that the inner dialogue in my head was chaotic and toxic, after a few tough relationships that left me feeling little self love. The realization that I could control my mind (and change it) motivated me. I dove deep into meditation and built a personal practice.

To regain my creative energy I had to align “head, heart, and hand.” Through personal discovery I reconnected with self love, reorganized and strengthened my body to express itself, and shifted my work to what felt authentic.

Yoga and meditation has healed me, and inspires me to share healing with others. The practice gave me a structure I could return to while still leaving space for adventures, detours, and setbacks. It reshaped how I understand both my body and my imagination. A lot of what I offer now, especially through restorative work, comes directly from this experience—daily practice, and the community that held me through it. A dance of philosophy, science, and embodied practice feels real good.

My middle name is Darshan, which points to the experience of seeing and being seen, to give reverence to the divine and sublime within each of us. This is what it's all about for me—healing and growing together through mutual recognition and reflection.

If you feel the call to deepen your relationship with yourself, your creativity, or community, I'd love to talk!
