Since 2010, I have helped hundreds of individuals deepen their appreciation of visual art.
Autodidact obsessed with art
Developed art appreciation course at UC Berkeley,
Spent time in NYC
Freelance art critic, university professor, professional artist
With over a decade of experience teaching at institutions like Columbia, Princeton, and UC Berkeley, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how art shapes our environments and emotions. My background—ranging from hands-on material experimentation in ceramics and ink to high-end residential architecture—enables me to offer a uniquely tailored approach to art advisory, one that’s sensitive to each client’s vision and needs.
My priority is to listen closely to your goals and guide you through every step of building a collection that feels authentic and deeply personal. Drawing on my leadership experience at RUR Architecture and Guy Nordenson and Associates, I combine creativity with thoughtful curation to ensure that the art you acquire speaks to your values and enriches your life. Whether navigating contemporary trends, exploring sustainable art practices, or seeking pieces that make your home or office truly yours, I’m here to help you make informed and meaningful choices.
Make it
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world.
Of all the things an artwork can communicate, to me the most profound is this: that to be alive, in this present moment, is enough.
Art is a miracle of human perception, one which allows us to live more fully in the present moment. As my life has benefited enormously from living with art, I have dedicated my career to guiding experienced collectors, first-time buyers, and students through the wonders and logistics of experiencing and acquiring works of art.
Through my art advisory practice, I’m dedicated to helping clients curate collections that not only reflect their aesthetic tastes but also resonate with their personal stories and aspirations.

Art invites us to pause, reflect, and experience the present fully. I am committed to helping you build a collection that does just that—capturing timeless beauty while telling your unique story.
