I look for solutions to complex spatial planning challenges through collaborative arts and community-building projects.

Vancouver, B.C.

I have been working as an interdisciplinary artist, communications strategist, and researcher for over a decade focusing on climate change, social movements and human rights. I work best in collaborative, interdisciplinary settings and enjoy experimenting with a range of engagement tools/artistic mediums to conceptualize solutions to major cultural-ecological planning and design challenges.

I am currently a PhD student at UBC's School of Community and Regional Planning (SCARP) researching coastal adaptation and Indigenous governance and a Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions’ (PICS) scholar with the Living With Water* Project. I live on the unceded and unsurrendered territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) & səl̓ilwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Peoples in Vancouver, ‘British Columbia’ and I am half Norwegian.

My written work, film contributions and photos have been published/exhibited at The London International Documentary Film Festival, The Centre for Performance Research (NYC), The Georgia Straight, the Vancouver Art Book Fair, Nowness.com, Booooooom.TV, Cannes, The Guardian, Vice, HoBo, The Toronto Public Library, Huck Magazine, ORB - and for Norsk Billedkunst, Dagens Næringsliv, Bergens Tidende + more in Norway.
