Queerly Complex Cultural Strategy helps movements, organizations, formations, and small businesses integrate community-driven arts and culture into social media, print, and direct action campaigns. Queerly Complex works with clients to understand the unique and specific culture that already exists, define the culture they wish to cultivate, and make a plan that includes community co-creation as the mechanism for materialization. The approach yields a process and an outcome aligned with the core values needed for our collective liberation.

Queerly Complex Design specializes in a high impact, pop-art inspired style that is easy to read. Using an intuitive & inquiry-based approach, I facilitate aesthetic decision-making with clients that results in accessible print & digital materials & brand package templates (for remix and reuse.) I frequently incorporate illustration & hand lettering that yields a personal look & feel, one that cannot be replicated by AI.  I also specialize in political art, design, & messaging, and work with movements for people's budgets, tenants' rights, housing justice, taxation of billionaires, racial justice, and more.

Queerly Complex Coaching aids overwhelmed, anxious, busy, & disorganized artists, entrepreneurs, executives, organizers, & leaders prioritize, decide, & act. I specialize in deep listening & can translate what's been said into creative tactics that work for you. I have experience with institutional public art installations, site-specific performance interventions, peer-based learning circles and mentoring programs, culturally-specific event production, community-engaged art projects, and anti-racist, intergenerational cultural development. As a result, I have access to a wealth of knowledge, strategies, and comrades that I share with my Queerly Complex Coaching clients. Some of the things I’ve helped clients with are: production plans, budgets, art catalogs, mission statements, value propositions, theories of change, strategic planning, board engagement, project management, brand development, client retreats. Queerly Complex Coaching emerges from the unique dialogue between us and a blending of our personal ways of being and making-meaning of this queerly complex cosmos.

Queerly Complex Social Art queers who are considered artist, art, and audience in small and large ways, which are driven by social, spacial, or political contexts. Expressions of Queerly Complex Art include #StickyQuestions, which was a year-long, community-engaged, art-making project with the Asian Art Museum that resulted in a double-sided 36’ by 3.5’ sticker mural that collected over 3500 responses to community-asked questions from passersby over three months with four public activations. Expressions also include Chaos Poetry, which is a durational poetic performance installation where I ask passersby thematic questions that get transmuted into short poems live. Chaos Poetry has appeared at Haight Street Fair, Folsom Street Fair, the Asian Art Museum, CounterPulse, and on street corners, in galleries, and in cultural centers. And a community-produced Free Speech Cultural Celebration in Civic Center Plaza featuring the SOMCAN Choir, the Chinese Choir from TNDC, San Francisco Drag Laureate Per Sia, Singing Resistance, artists with Calle 24 and Galeria de la Raza, and a piece of political satire featuring the Mayor, Godzilla, and the People’s Budget.

Queerly Complex Hosting brings joy, style, and ease to any event, street festival, stage, or conference. I have a knack for riling up audiences, getting people to talk to one another, communicating with production staff, and ensuring there isn’t any dead air. With an eye for culturally-specific details, I know how to work with performers to ensure they will be introduced in the manner that supports their performance. Plus! I have a vast network of performers, musicians, dancers, drag performers, comedians, aerialists, sound healers, and more, so I can help fill up your line-up should you need a hand.
