🚨 Shameless self-promotion alert 🚨
Folks, I’m seriously so jazzed for this designer’s lab coming up Sept 21-23 in Toronto. There are so many amazing friends and *ridiculously* experienced industry members who all want to get together and build community while educating and creating conversations. You’ll be seeing me promote this a ton over the next few months, so sign up, resistance is futile 🤓 come hang out and talk nerdy for a few days.

It takes a village to headline . And everyone knocked it out of the park.

💗🤠🙏🏻

Many thanks to Javier Alcaraz and for always supporting and trusting in me; and for making sure I find time to laugh, eat, and sleep. And much love to for juggling all of the logistics. Slay!

Credit and gratitude to for her creativity and collaborative nature in turning her ideas into reality. You are inspirational.

Tabitha, you are always a beacon of light, a calming presence, and I love the energy you bring to the projects we work on. Thank you for always having a good hug and a good laugh to share.

A million owed favors and thank you’s to , , , and everyone at for going the extra mile to handle all of our last minute requests, and helping to make difficult tasks possible.

Hats off to and for seamlessly combining two amazing crews and rigs and pushing through some long days and bad weather to make it happen. Without the crew, my job is not possible.

Much gratitude to .on.the.run for coming in and jumping in on such a well-weathered showfile to help knock out notes, and tackle things during the show so I could focus on key lights for broadcast. This show would not have looked as good without your help, and I appreciate having you there as a second set of eyes, as well as a fresh pair of eyes.

Thank you to all of the local support for all of your hard work putting this together, and being such amazing hosts; it was an honor to be your guest. , Jamie Jenson, Matt Kubas, Eddie Marquez, Dallas Gaspar, Jon Baden, and everyone else I interfaced with in person or via email in the weeks leading up to the festival, thank you for running a tight ship, and for keeping us all on track for a successful show.

There’s so many more folks who were a part of making this happen, and I appreciate all of you. This show could not have happened so well without everyone’s help.

Hi everyone,
For a number of reasons I’ve decided to terminate LEAPS as a company. I am still out there working hard, but as a freelance position for the time being. Thank you to everyone who has supported me and my work for the last decade 💗
I will keep this account active and update it with current work and projects and updates, and look forward to giving it a facelift when I decide what’s next.

Stay creative.

The winter edition of Protocol is live, and I’ve got a piece featured. “Leave your gender at the door; how I’ve navigated identity and expectation behind the scenes”
I had a lot of great feedback from friends I sent it to before publishing, but if there’s anyone who feel I completely missed the mark on something, please speak up. If anything, I would love this article to create dialogue on the topic and enlighten through conversation.
