This romanticized view suggests that creativity is an unstructured, unbounded process emerging from individual brilliance. However, this perception fundamentally misrepresents the true nature of creativity and innovation. Creativity is inherently collective; it is a complex and emergent process that thrives at the intersection of diverse perspectives and collaborative synergy. Even the most celebrated “individual” achievements are deeply rooted in collaborative networks. Vincent van Gogh's masterpieces were profoundly influenced by Japanese ukiyo-e prints and conversations with contemporaries like Gaugin and Monet.

Yet, despite mounting evidence for creativity's collective nature, the myth of the lone creator persists. Many creative professionals report fear of judgment and loss of creative agency in collaborative work. (Cont’d) Contemporary organizations have developed sophisticated frameworks for productivity, resource management, and performance optimization, yet they lack equivalent structures for systematically fostering collective creativity.

This site, in many ways, is a manifesto of my creative practice. Here, I attempt to understand the process of creation—a process which is inherently relational and emergent—through theory and practice. As most creative endeavors, this project is highly collaborative. A special thanks to all advisors and professors, Anais Missakian, Rashid Zia, Harold Roth, Steven Sloman, Judson Brewer, Larson DiFiori, Lisa Scull, and Anna Gitelson-Kahn; to my friends, especially Dway Lunkad and Ethan Hoskins; and everyone I have ever collaborated with. 2. This site was built using custom HTML/CSS on Cargo Collective, set in Favorit and Arizona Variable typefaces. SAP GREEN and WASH BLUE are used to delineate THEORY and PRACTICE respectively. 3. I try to live by the rule that brevity is generosity. I apologize in advance; this site is anything but brief. Information Email Instagram
