Work Experience

  • Founder

    2019

    Wild Child operates a preschool in Oakland and designs experiential art for children. We are accepting applications for the 2024/2025 school year. Our first exhibit was an interactive gallery and play space pop-up at Junior Center of Art & Science in Oakland, from October 2019 - February 2020. Our installations create a multi-sensory world, designed especially for tiny hands and growing minds. We also offer sensory-based art classes for babies, tots, and preschoolers. You can see our interactive children's spaces at festivals, playgrounds, public art installations, and childcare facilities.
