He’s worked in advertising and marketing for global brands and for cultural and educational institutions across a range of media. Previous clients include: The City of Coral Gables (Miami, FL), Virginia Commonwealth University (Richmond, VA), The Anderson Gallery (Richmond, VA), Pfizer (New York, NY) and Norwegian Cruise Line (Miami, FL).
His research-based studio practice explores themes of identity, labor, gaze, power, and Otherness through performance while incorporating video, publication, sound, and interaction. The primary focus of his work is how the gaze is mediated through documents, interfaces, and grids — tracing contemporary fascinations of fixed identity to darker colonial histories of power and control. He applies friction when speed is demanded, slowing down the slickness of bureaucracy, emerging technology, and commerce to reveal their hidden effects — harmful, poetic, and otherwise.
He has exhibited at The Anderson Gallery (Richmond, VA) and Visible Records (Charlottesville, VA). His self-initiated publications have been featured at Printed Matter’s New York Art Book Fair, the Jersey Art Book Fair, and Sprint Milano. He holds an M.F.A. in Visual Communications, Graphic Design from Virginia Commonwealth University and a B.F.A. in Graphic Design from the University of Central Florida.
