03 / Art + social impact

Bulldozer LA

Bulldozer LA artist panel

I founded Bulldozer LA to give artists who dedicated their work to social change a culminating event, a live audience, and a creative community.

Over one year, I built the organization from the ground up and led every function with a volunteer team—from programming and partnerships to marketing, operations, and production.

I produced a full-day, community-oriented art experience designed to feel current, cool, and genuinely participatory rather than institutional.

The program featured Grammy-nominated multidisciplinary artist Hollis Wong-Wear and was amplified by USC Arts in Action, LAUNCH LA, and TARFEST.

Bulldozer remains my defining passion project: the clearest intersection of entrepreneurship, art, and community impact.
