Overview

My current work expands from museum-based digitization toward locally embedded digital heritage systems.

In collaboration with local non-profit We Love Leimert and UCLA, I am developing a digital community archive documenting the material and expressive culture of Leimert Park, a historically Pan-African neighborhood in Los Angeles. This project integrates 3D models, oral histories, photographs, and linked metadata to create a living archive shaped by the community it represents.
