I make work at the intersections of fat embodiment, climate grief, and speculative futures. I love magical realism!
I am inspired by experimental filmmakers and movement poets who use their mediums to disrupt power, protect the vulnerable, and honor the transformative power of relationships.
Maria’s Story
Originally created for Rian Brown-Orso’s Animation class at Oberlin College, Maria’s Story animates an anonymous submission to the STOP Story Archive, a community-produced anti-violence initiative that seeks to publicize a wide range of transformative justice narratives. The STOP Story Archive includes perspectives of survivors, bystanders, family members, and harm-doers.

Miss Foxine and the Birthday Adventure
This short film was completed with the guidance of Mara Ramirez through their course Drawing As A Mode of Nurturance. It is a papercut, stop-motion animation stemming from personal mythology and animalia. A fairy tale romp starring a cast of wacky characters, including one trepidatious fox, a starry-headed sea monster, and a river of magical tears.
