︎ Impact: 📣 Amplifying the voices and histories of a historically underserved San Francisco neighborhood
Beginning in 2023, I worked extensively on content development and communications for the release of Sounds of California: Bayview—a bilingual digital archive launched in 2025 by the Alliance for California Traditional Arts (ACTA) that honors the cultural life of San Francisco’s Bayview-Hunters Point.
My contributions included:
〰️ Editing and refining nine oral history interviews with Bayview culture bearers, assisted by AI
〰️ Copy-editing and shaping web content for clarity, accessibility, and cultural sensitivity
〰️ Designing visual assets and executing a multi-platform media rollout (social, video, web)
〰️ Supporting the development of site architecture and thematic tagging strategies to improve user experience
Sounds of California: Bayview captures themes of migration, immigration, and home through the music and voices of Bayview-Hunters Point and nearby Bay Area communities. In collaboration with community organizations, artists, and residents, the collection includes rich oral histories from Bayview’s artist-activists, a commissioned video essay on Bayview’s history, neighborhood fieldwork, and recordings from a 2018 concert at the Bayview Opera House.

︎ Impact: 📖 Preserving and amplifying 25+ years of ACTA’s legacy through a dynamic digital archive
Beginning in 2023, I played a key role in content development, archival research, and web coordination for Celebrating Over 25 Years—a bilingual microsite marking the Alliance for California Traditional Arts’ decades of work supporting traditional artists and cultural communities across California. The project centered on five narrative timelines and drew from oral histories, archival materials, and community contributions to reflect ACTA’s impact across themes such as cultural sustainability, health equity, public engagement, and field building.
My contributions included:
〰️ Writing and editing timeline narratives, web pages, and artist features
〰️ Conducting archival research and selecting relevant images
〰️ Consolidating grantee data into a master spreadsheet and developing an interactive Google Map
〰️ Coordinating closely with the web designer to ensure accessibility, visual cohesion, and 25th anniversary branding
〰️ Leading quality assurance processes, co-managing internal reviews with project stakeholders and ACTA leadership
〰️ Designing promotional graphics and supporting a year-long communications rollout across email and social platform
〰️ Supporting fine-detail production tasks, including upscaling archival assets, formatting content for web, and organizing internal documentation
Launched in 2025, ACTA’s Celebrating Over 25 Years microsite is a dynamic, user-friendly archive that documents the organization’s history since 1997 and uplifts the voices of grantees, partners, culture bearers, and staff who have shaped ACTA’s journey.

︎ Impact: So many more people wanted calendars than I anticipated!
I completed a long-standing goal of mine in 2024: designing a calendar! Each month’s design only uses photos taken in San Francisco in that month over the last two years. I only printed 30 calendars this year as gifts, but they were in such high demand that I will be sure to print more to sell next year.
Printed by Friends and Neighbors, a risograph studio in the Inner Richmond neighborhood of San Francisco.
