The week before the anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, I created an outdoor multimedia installation of a 9/11 first responders photographs of the destruction in Lower Manhattan, that were transformed a decade later by the murky water of Hurricane Sandy. Never before exhibited, these powerful and cathartic artifacts, depicting first responders atop twisted steel surrounded by psychedelic splotches, inverted colors and abstract water spots, were projected in an outdoor installation.

I'm a visual journalist and storyteller. Over my 15+ year career,  I've worked as a staff member for leading media outlets including the New York Times and CNN in a variety of roles: contributing writer, photo editor, producer of immersive experiences, and technologist. My background in fine art has also directed me to participate in art residencies, and create and curate investigative and documentary projects in the form of public installations. Most recently, I've been exploring emerging technology and its impact on the future of interactive storytelling.
