about

I am a storyteller, cultural innovator, branding strategist, musician, artist, and activist living in the Boston area.

As the Communications Officer At MIT’s Edgerton Center, I pioneered a data-driven approach to branding and engagement that increased social media shares by 600% and doubled donations in the 24 hour challenge. My interview with MIT President Sally Kornbluth was featured on NBC Boston. My photographs were featured in MIT News, Spectrum Magazine, MIT Technology Review, and NBC Boston.

In 2011, I launched Qwear, a queer fashion incubator recognized by the The New York Times, WBUR, Mashable, Curve Magazine, and The Advocate as a global movement providing free social transition tools to the public. I wrote the forward to Queer and Trans Fashion Brands: Resistance and Revolution in the 21st Century (Bloomsbury Academic, 2025). Qwear’s award-winning #ThisIsWhatAsexualLooksLike movement with activist Yasmin Benoit, sparked a global conversation about asexuality. Qwear also championed BIPOC, femme, and plus-size androgynous fashion, expanding representation in ways the industry had never seen before, and bringing more diversity to google search terms.

As a graphic designer, I exhibited work in a solo exhibition at MIT’s Rotch Library (Intersections, 2018). I performed my original poems at GBH and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
