about

Over the past 15 years, I’ve led brands through transformations that put my designs on the Nasdaq billboard in Times Square and on stage at the Boston Art & Music Soul Festival (Bamsfest).

At MIT, I served in Communications for 8 years—most recently as Communications Officer for the Edgerton Center—where I pioneered a data-driven approach to branding and engagement that increased social media shares by 600%, doubled donations during the 24-Hour Challenge, and delivered record-breaking engagement and six-figure fundraising results. My interview with MIT President Sally Kornbluth was featured on NBC Boston, and my photography appeared in MIT News, Spectrum Magazine, MIT Technology Review, and NBC Boston.

In 2011, I founded Qwear (qwearfashion.com), the first online LGBTQIA+ style incubator, recognized by The New York Times, WBUR, Mashable, Curve Magazine, and The Advocate. With Qwear, I’ve launched award-winning global campaigns, produced fashion shows at the Boston ICA and other major venues, secured corporate sponsorships, and used SEO to diversify search results for terms like “queer fashion” and “androgynous style.”

As both a designer and an artist, I’ve exhibited at MIT’s Rotch Library (Intersections, 2018) and performed spoken word at GBH and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. My work has been featured in Forbes, Vogue, and The Guardian.
