Sound Design (Theatre)
I designed a 15 minute experimental soundscape composition for choreographer Sam Aros-Mitchell's Wish | Body | Trace exploring sacred geometry, principles of emergence in nature, connection and disintegration, as well as attention. My piece served as a sonic environment for score-based improvisation to occur.

I worked as an assistant for Felipe-Hoyos González, the composer and head sound designer, of the two-hour drama/musical telling the tale of the Mirabel sisters lives under dictatorship in the Dominican Republic. This play is an adaptation from the well-known book of the same title.
Strange Fruit, Sound Designer

I had the honor of being the Sound Designer in the Fall of 2025 for the one-man play — Strange Fruit in downtown Chicago. This play was originally performed and written by the Dean of the School of Communication at Northwestern, E. Patrick Johnson, and explores his navigations as a black queer man in academia and in life, in conversation with many challenging histories and important critical race theorists.
