“Bayview-Hunters Point is where I have long resided and poured into the community through art, sound, and relationship. As a ritual sound designer, I host sound-based gatherings, deep listening immersive experiences, and community sound bath rituals. I founded Driveway.SF an artist pop-up turned block party and am currently working on a commissioned waterfront sound design rooted in community and ecological reverence. I create immersive sound installations that preserve cultural memory and resist erasure. My connection to Bayview is personal and ongoing, grounded in trust with elders, families, and land stewards.”
