Services

I work with artists, archives, cultural institutions, and small organizations to preserve moving image materials and shape strategies that support long-term care, public access, and and thoughtful engagement with these works. My approach is hands-on, collaborative, and flexible—tailored to the specific needs and realities of each project.

My background blends archival practice with creative direction. I’m often brought in not just to organize materials, but to help shape how they’re presented to archives and other stakeholders, how they reach audiences, and how they can be activated in new ways. Whether it’s consulting on grant opportunities, producing a restoration, structuring a collection, or helping a project take shape from idea to implementation, I see preservation as a strategic and creative act as much as a technical one.

In addition to working on preservation and archiving, I consult on legacy planning, audience engagement strategy, and project development—especially for those working independently or within small teams.

Preservation & Archiving

• Surveys audiovisual and ephemeral collections for the purpose of assessing archival, preservation, restoration, distribution, and exhibition potential and need.

• Consults with individuals, independent artists and filmmakers with personal and professional collections to preserve and restore at risk media. Considers environmental risk, levels of degradation and materials confined to obsolete mediums in need of digital iterations, or newly created film assets.

• Implements and manages preservation and archiving projects from development to completion.

• Fosters ongoing relationships between individual and archival institutions, which support artists’ work and its accessibility.

• Collaborates with artists, filmmakers, archives, other organizations, and professionals to develop short and long-term goals, revitalize and reintroduce motion picture and related materials lost to time, industry and conditions.

• Provides simple guidance through an archiving and/or preservation processes as needed, including proposal writing and consulting on grant opportunities..

• Producer of film and videotape-based restorations.

Additionally, I work with individual artists and cultural organizations on legacy planning, creative strategies and project development around exhibition, public access, defining project scope, goals and potential audiences. I offer tailored support for projects that seek to ethically surface and share historical materials—from community media to legacy formats—and can assist with developing public-facing presentations and narrative framing.

Personal Legacy Memorabilia:

As an archivist and documentarian, I care for and investigate artifacts of the past. Through the study and cataloguing of materials, I collaborate with their associated individuals and communities to bring into focus untold stories. Working with multi-media collections of film, videotape, photographs, and ephemera, I organize, explore, curate and create that which represents a person, place and coterie.

These activities may involve collaborating with individuals and families to preserve and archive artists' estates in partnership with libraries, museums, or historical societies. By working alongside institutions and community organizations, these initiatives seek to share memorabilia that weaves together personal narratives with broader cultural histories. In doing so, they create records of what once was, ensuring that future generations can connect with and learn from footprints of the past.
