Founder & CEO · pro/nouns

I am a proud son, grandson, father, brother, partner, and immigrant. My path has been shaped by community organizing, work with cultural institutions, and years spent alongside STEM and science communication professionals in both formal and informal education settings.

My body of work rests on naming and dismantling the systemic burdens placed on marginalized communities. Having lived through those very systems, I know the weight they carry and I know that change is not about “bootstraps” but about collective effort and care.

I founded Pueblo to walk with organizations and individuals who want to move beyond outreach, into relationships and practices that lead to meaningful change. At Pueblo, we begin by looking inward, at the culture and systems that shape our institutions, and work toward cultures that are inclusive in practice, not just in promise.

Community Experience Designer · pro/nouns

I am an artist, thinker, social justice advocate, and arts and culture practitioner who believes in the power of creativity to spark meaningful change. My career has included leading interdisciplinary teams to create STE(A)M experiences and exhibitions, as well as co-founding internal groups focused on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility.

I now serve as Program Director for Coyote Central in Seattle, WA, while also bringing my heart to Pueblo as a Community Experiences Designer. Guided by social justice, curiosity, and creativity, I use cultural fluency, program development, and experience design to support the whole journey of our partners — from exhibitions to programs across multiple mediums.

Community Experience Designer · pro/nouns

I was raised in a rural community of dairy farmers, and that upbringing shaped the way I navigate the world. Later, my studies in zoology and biology revealed just how many barriers communities face when trying to connect with science.

My path has included planning and executing large-scale science events, managing cross-sector collaborations, training scientists in equitable communication, and facilitating honest, often complex conversations. I believe that human-centered design is non-negotiable for meaningful connection, and I weave social justice, care for mental health, and relationship building into every aspect of my work.

At Pueblo, I am often the one sensing and creating balance — between projects, within programs, and across partnerships. For me, harmony is about honoring the realities of our experiences so that our ideas, feelings, and actions align, strengthening our creativity, relationships, and joy.
