Other work…sounds, images, and stories
Digital Salon Podcast: Sounds of Home
August 2020
Friends around the world are simultaneously grappling with their understanding of home. This collective pondering, when spliced together, reveals the transcendent nature of our individual portals. Sound has an incredible ability to capture these daily moments. Together, the sounds of our homes forge portals, like a dynamic journal, allowing us to enter into each other's moments of longing for and exploring “home.”
This auditory portal, Sounds of Home, is two-fold. In Part One and Part Two of Sounds of Home, global sounds of nostalgia and [re-]discovery have been curated and compiled into two sound collages.
Thank you to my brilliant collaborators from across the world, Cassie Hoeprich and Akana Jayewardene.
What Makes People Feel at Home?
June 2017
My master’s thesis, What Makes People Feel at Home? Reframing Home and Homelessness Through Stories from Seattle's Tent City 3, is an exploration of “home” in pursuit of a better understanding of “homelessness”. The meaning of “home” is questioned and scrutinized through personal stories from Tent City 3, a houseless encampment in Seattle.

Civic Center Stories
August 2016
I developed Civic Center Stories while with the San Francisco Planning Department in 2016. It aims “to bring a new dimension to the department’s community engagement process through a more personalized, one-on-one approach” and to “bring a human face to the individuals who spend time in the Heart of the City”.
“Let these stories be a reminder to look up from your phone more often, say hi to that person you see every morning on the bus, sit down every once in a while on that corner you usually rush by, and get to know the remarkable and diverse people with whom you share the City.”
Thank you to Nick Perry who gave me the space and freedom to create this special piece of work.
