1 · Exhibition Curation & Production

1 · Exhibition Curation & Production

For museums, universities, arts venues, and festivals.

I design and deliver digital art exhibitions end to end — guest curation, commissioned immersive experiences, and recurring exhibition series built inside your institution. Digital art is the hardest medium to program without the artist relationships and technical fluency to match; I bring both, from open call to opening night.

2 · Digital Art Programs for Spaces

2 · Digital Art Programs for Spaces

For hotels, developers, corporate offices, and hospitality.

Your screens are already on. The question is what they’re saying about you. I build complete digital art programs for physical spaces: needs assessment, display and hardware specification, artist licensing, a rotating curated program, and the maintenance playbook that keeps it alive. Art that moves, in spaces that host thousands of viewing hours a week.

3 · Collection Advisory & Due Diligence

3 · Collection Advisory & Due Diligence

For private collectors, family offices, and their advisors.

Digital art is an emerging asset class with unsolved problems: provenance, custody, conservation, and inheritance. I advise on acquisitions and conduct on-chain due diligence — verifying provenance at the smart-contract level, structuring custody and display, and making sure what you collect today can be authenticated, exhibited, and transferred tomorrow.

5 · Fair & Event Operations

5 · Fair & Event Operations

For fairs, platforms, festivals, and brands.

The operational backbone for ambitious art events: speaker programming, exhibitor coordination, artist logistics, marketing execution, and production management. I’ve run operations for an inaugural fair during Miami Art Week — the most competitive stage on the calendar — and delivered the full program on schedule.

A note for artists

A note for artists

I don’t charge artists. Ever. If you make screen-native work, the door is the work itself: introduce yourself

I look at everything sent to me, and I champion the work I believe in.
