These days, most of my studio time is spent working on an amazing interdisciplinary collaboration at ARCHEWORKS, an alternative design school in Chicago. My team is designing a garden for people with disabilities on a site next to Dyett High School in Washington Park through a partnership with the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago and the Chicago Botanic Garden. I'm learning a lot about horticultural therapy, universal design, landscape architecture, aphasia, and the south side of Chicago, among other things.

I 'm going to be featured in the Food & Performance series curated by Ania Greiner and Jessica Hannah November 13 & 14. This series takes place in a beautiful Little Village home. Space is limited so RSVP to reserve a spot at foodperformance@gmail.com
