Creative director and touring band member across two studio albums — Twelve Nudes (Bella Union, 2019) and Goodbye Small Head (Bella Union/ANTI-, 2025). On Goodbye Small Head, directed and shot the music video for lead single "Power of the Moon" and edited "One Hand Free." Managed the full rollout for both records: visual identity, merch, press coordination, and tour materials.
Twelve Nudes got its visual identity through a collaboration with illustrator Cristina Daura — album artwork, vinyl packaging, stage backdrop, and merch all built around the record's themes of trans power and activism. Goodbye Small Head charted internationally and drew 4–4.5 star reviews from DIY, Mojo, and MusicOMH.
