    These compositions are intended for headphones or external speakers for optimal listening experience, and to catch sound dynamics.

    Experimental Art, Sound Compositions & Acoustic Ecology

    As a mixed media artist, I enjoy experimenting with collages and the layering of different mediums. I also enjoy exploring multimedia and mixing digital media with traditional art. Similarly, as a sound artist and biologist, I like to explore the interaction of natural sounds with man-made sounds, acoustic ecology and world building with sounds. Whether experimenting with sounds in a studio or in the field, the new sounds I hear enrich my life as they are completely new to me. By creating and recording different sounds using various tools and methods, I can then weave them together to bring narration to my sound compositions.

    Imitating Musical Instruments & Psychoacoustics

    The equipment I use and how I interact with different surfaces and environments create sounds that mimic musical instruments like the drums, or even a heartbeat. When I explore ways of using tools like contact microphones and hydrophones, I can determine how sounds affect me. Is the sound indicative of urgency? Do the lapping sounds of ocean waves against the seashore give the similar feeling or tingle of an autumn leaf floating in the breeze? These types of associations also allow me to explore the psychology behind hearing different sounds.

    Sound Designs to Raise Awareness & Activism

    I’m interested in how simple and complex sounds trigger memories, bring solace, excite, inspire and much more. We are in a world where humans can change their environments, and nature can change our moods at an instant. We are at a time when noise pollution can interfere with normal wildlife activity and affect human health. This interplay raises questions and concerns about the impacts of our actions and what nature can teach us. By exploring how to use sounds to wield different emotions, this can bring another element into my sound designs– to activate introspection, dialogue, wonder or questions.

    Boston-native, multidisciplinary artist-photographer with a background in science and digital marketing. I strive to observe things that most other people overlook. Art frees us and ignores rigid perceptions. My artwork serves this purpose of revealing the essence in our experiences highlighted by people, places, and activities. I like to experiment with the concept of how combinations of geometry, colors, sounds, text, and textures trigger emotions, so that I seek to understand what the mind perceives as beautiful, interesting and satiating. I created this site, "The Mosaic Fingerprint", to promote uniqueness through consciousness development. It serves to inspire, educate, and encourage expression. Creativity and imagination work hand-in-hand and are essential resources for growth. Aside from my freelance work as an artist and photographer, I'm a digital marketing professional. I've also worked as a research biologist in both biotechnology and academic settings, co-authoring peer-reviewed, scientific publications. My professional experience spans several different industries, including scientific R&D, healthcare, architecture, construction, automotive, broadcasting, insurance, restaurant, marketing and communications, and information technology.
