After years building artist relations and curatorial programs across global platforms, I turned my passion for the intersection of art, technology, and culture into a practice.

About me.

I've spent the last four years building bridges between artists, platforms, collectors, and brands across the fast-evolving landscape of digital art — from NFTs to immersive exhibitions, Web3 ecosystems to legacy institutions.

Having represented companies at Paris Photo, Miami Art Basel, NFC Lisbon, NFT NYC, Digital Art Mile Basel, and Marfa Art Blocks Weekend, I bring a global perspective grounded in genuine relationships.

My approach is built on trust, cultural sensitivity, and a deep understanding of both the traditional and emerging art worlds. I believe in empowering artists with the tools and connections they need while guiding collectors and institutions through the rapidly shifting landscape of digital culture.

I work with artists, galleries, and platforms looking to navigate and grow in the new art world — thoughtfully and sustainably.
