At Corey Claxton Blaustein, I help artists and creatives get organized and simplify their operations so they have more space for creative work. My work can include inventory, project tracking, studio operations, or workflows.

At Triangle ArtWorks, I directed operations and financial oversight for a regional arts nonprofit. I developed the initial prototype platform for the National Arts Learning Database project and coordinated implementation across partner organizations.

As a freelance audio/podcast producer, I produced more than 100 episodes exploring creative processes and artistic practice, including The Project Room series and Flirtations! Podcast. Recent work included scoring showcase reels for performing arts programs.

At Seattle Art Museum, I supported public-facing marketing and communications for exhibitions and programs, and helped implement project management systems to improve coordination across teams. My work has consistently connected creative practice with the systems and communications that support it.
