FAQ’s
You've Got Questions, I've Got Answers
What kind of projects do you take on?
I specialize in large-scale murals, public art installations, and consulting with cities, developers, transit authorities, and nonprofits. Whether it’s activating a blank wall or curating a community-driven art experience, if it involves creativity + impact + connection, I’m in.
Do you only work in North Carolina?
Nope! While I love working in my home base of Charlotte, I work on projects across the U.S. and am totally open to international collaborations. Big walls in cool places? Yes, please.
Can I hire you just for consulting?
Absolutely. I offer consulting services to cities, arts organizations, and developers—everything from curating public art programs to designing calls for artists to building community engagement plans.
How do I get started working with you?
Easy! Start with a quick message via the form above. We’ll hop on a call to talk goals, budget, timeline, and location. If we’re a good fit, we’ll move into site visits, a contract and sketching magic (slinging of the paint comes later).
What makes your process different?
I mix creativity with logistics. I ask the right questions. I meet deadlines. I care about what this piece means to your space. Every mural or program is rooted in research, community input, and a whole lot of heart. And I don’t rest until you love the final result.
