From audio drama to site-specific theatre, I tell immersive stories that explore strange worlds.
NNPN affiliated playwright, co-founder of Trap Street and Living Room Playmakers, and a Northwestern MFA grad.
As a content creator + producer, I’ve worked with brands such as Adobe, Beer Nuts, eBay, Hyatt, Plaid, and VinePair.
Below are a few of my current and recent projects.

darkness comes alive
An immersive audio tour of a haunted neon gallery.Trap Street collaborated with neon artist Lili Lakich to create a new piece of site-specific theatre for her studio, combining the true history of her work with a fictional narrative.Three audio tours guide you through the space and introduce the artwork. But you quickly learn that this is actually an electric graveyard — and these buzzing tubes contain the souls of the dead.
