About the Author

I’m a freelance art critic, writer, consultant, and professional librarian with an ALA-accredited MSIS. I specialize in taxonomy development, digital archiving and preservation, visual media collections, content strategy, and user experience.

My work bridges creative practice and information science—connecting cultural content with the digital systems that enable access, understanding, and long-term stewardship. I offer services in art writing, metadata and taxonomy design, digital curation, and knowledge organization for cultural and creative projects.

My research interests span early modern to contemporary art, literature, theater, and film—with a particular emphasis on Asian art. My master’s thesis, Ghosts of Pre-Modernity: Butoh and the Avant-Garde,, explores postwar Japanese performance and is available as an e-book.

Raised in the Pacific Northwest by working-class artists, I’ve always moved between the artistic and the analytical. I find joy in museums, coffee shops, clothing swaps, niche subcultures, and of course, the library. I’ve proudly been part of the goth subculture since my teens.
