QR Art > STEAM Installations > Museum Residency
Explored early interactive QR art, evolved to interactive sound installations, leading to a month-long art residency.
I began experimenting with painted QR codes in 2011—years before QR codes were common—to explore how far they could be stretched as both visual objects and interactive triggers. What started as a curiosity-driven art experiment became Depiction, a pair of neighborhood-scale photo installations, and eventually grew into STEAM-focused sound installations and a month-long museum residency.

Fundraising Magic Trick: Turning a Masquerade Ball Into $40k
Built a multi-floor, art-soaked, clue-hunting experience so immersive people forgot it was a fundraiser.
Working for The Carrack, a DIY community art gallery, I was challenged to invent a new October fundraiser with a modest $10k goal. I created an immersive Masquerade Ball filled with art, performance, puzzles, and exploration. The result became a signature annual event, turning a creative gamble into $25k–$40k per year.

Restoring and Rebuilding Museum’s Digital Foundation
Rescued a failing WordPress site and rebuilt it into a stable, future-ready platform that brought Elsewhere’s digital presence back into focus.
Elsewhere Museum’s website was collapsing under outdated plugins, broken content, and years of drift. I recovered and repaired the damaged WordPress site, salvaged years of archived material, and rebuilt everything on Squarespace with clear structure, visual coherence, and long-term maintainability. The result became the museum’s dependable digital backbone for communication, programming, and outreach.
