Rīga, Latvia

I come from a family of engineers. When I was younger, I bristled at the thought that I too, was an engineer; I insisted I was only a composer. As I continue to explore the world and my understanding of how these complex systems work and interact with one another, I have come to embrace the part of me that is—broadly defined—an engineer.

Research is an integral part of my work, and is rooted in two fundamental tenets: a desire to understand how component parts work together to create a whole, and a curiosity about how stories and ideas travel and evolve, are protected and expanded as they meet new bodies and voices.
