Publications
In both my personal exhibition practice and collaborative scholarly work, I remain engaged in publishing across a range of disciplines. My contributions reflect a commitment to interdisciplinary exploration—spanning visual arts, design exhibition, and pedagogy—and often emerge from a blend of creative inquiry and academic research. This ongoing engagement with publishing allows me to contribute to broader conversations within and beyond my field, while also reflecting critically on my own practice.
The breadth of my work can be seen in the variety of outlets and topics represented in my publication history, which includes co-authored projects, design-focused essays, and creative research.
