From 2023 to 2025 I was fortunate to work on the Art Fabrication team at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art or MASS MoCA in North Adams, MA.
With the Art Fab team, I worked on fabrication for new artworks and facilitated the installation of existing works for exhibition at MASS MoCA. From July 2024 to December 2025 I was the Manager of Installation in the Visual Arts department at MASS MoCA. in this postion I managed a team of 5-9 professional artists and museum preparators working on projects across the expansive museum campus.

This Sound Cannon from Osman Khan's Road to Hybridibad was created using a 2nd generation Toyota Tacoma and a custom built stereo array inspired by various stereo and car audio cultures around the world. I had a lot of fun working closely with Osman to fabricate the speaker arrays.
