Hi! I'm an NYC-based director, specializing in the development of new plays and musicals (especially Asian American and/or Queer stories). I love the "soft power" of theater as a live medium, and I endeavor to create work that has a visceral audience impact. This impact can take many forms: honing the story to bring out social messages, bringing radical inclusivity to cast and creative teams, and/or adding immersive/interactive elements to the live theater experience.
Because of my background as a (Grammy-nominated) performer, I am an "actor's director"/"singer's director" to a greater extent than most--I'm able to speak the same artistic and technical language as the performers in both plays and musicals. As a lifelong musician (classical violin, piano, and voice), I'm also able to speak with composers and musicians about songs and score in a musical. I am also a former lawyer, with exceptional analytic reading skills for script development and refinement.
I am extremely organized, and an adaptable, quick problem-solver. Above all, I prioritize collaboration, kindness and calm in my style of leadership.
