I’m Kashi, a New York-based artist specializing in multidisciplinary work that bridges graphic design, up-cycling and creative technology.

I create workshops with creative community, by building environments for strangers to become friends, collaborating with existing communities, and engaging with art as activism.

I’ve led workshops and classes focused on digital design, research processes, fine arts, architecture, & jewelry, among many other topics. My teaching emphasizes experimentation, interaction, and being present while creating.

I have also published written work reflecting on interdisciplinary collaboration and social justice.
