I am an artist, illustrator and educator.  As a master printmaker I have worked for the Brodsky Center, the Lower East Side Printshop, the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop and the Glasgow Print Studio producing artwork for bluechip artists such as Chuck Close and Kiki Smith. My expertise in making brought me to Parsons School of Design, where I was Director of the Printmaking Department for 7 years.

My journey as an artist and activist has led me to rediscover what it means to be human, to tell stories and to create connections that serve the mutual benefit of all. My Masters is in International Affairs with a concentration in Economics and Development. My advocacy work centers on labor compliance regulations in the garment industry and market demand analysis for handicraft in the artisan sector. I have collaborated with the Copenhagen Fashion Summit, World Bank, UN, UNHCR and USAID researching income generating opportunities for artisan enterprises in emerging economies. I have also worked with innovative brands such as House of Things as a designer and illustrator and have served as a keynote speaker for organizations such as UN Global Compact and TeenVogue.

As an educator, I have led printmaking workshops all around the world sharing the joy of making with all ages.
