Description
San Diego native, 17 years in New Orleans. I've hosted workawayers, couchsurfers, home exchangers, renters, and a revolving cast of friends and family — I genuinely enjoy the mix of people that comes with an open door.
My background is in experiential education, photography, and production. I led a community arts nonprofit and photography festival for years, and have worked with National Geographic and Smithsonian expedition programs producing exhibitions and wilderness education.
Right now I'm deep into one of the most interesting projects of my life: renovating a historic 1832 building in the New Orleans Arts District that belonged to my friend Jack Stewart — a jazz historian, theater historian, and architectural preservationist. We're sifting through decades of archives, digitizing records, doing research, fixing the space for workaway and an artist residency and exhibition program. It's new territory for me and I love it.
The Projects
Depending on your skills and interests, there's a wide range of ways to plug in: archival sorting and digitization, photography and videography, research, grant writing support, art projects, cooking, house projects, or just good co-working energy. I like finding the right fit.
Perks
Private room (or funky space if you're adventurous) in a historic 1832 building in the New Orleans Arts District or two bedroom house in Historic Treme Neighborhood
Household basics covered - laundry, wifi, utilities.
Access to a creative live/work environment and active arts community
Introductions to the New Orleans photography, music, and cultural scene
Flexible schedule — 15 hours a week commitment - more is welcome! Work trades for stuff possible
A Great Fit
Someone curious about history, architecture, music, and New Orleans culture beyond the obvious. You probably have remote work or a project of your own. You're not coming here to party — though I'm not opposed to a good time, I'm looking for positive, motivated, good-vibes people. Super plus if you're into clean eating and want to enjoy some meals together! New Orleans has so much more to offer than most visitors discover, and I'm happy to be your introduction to it. I have a membership to a co-working space and a couple pools to sweeten the deal if I'm around! -

The space: My house is a historic Treme double shotgun. I live on one side with my roommate and the other side is available with two bedrooms for guests. When I fix up the first apartment at the renovation project, that will be available (August) and I will update photos.

Possibilité d'accueillir les animaux
I can accept any pets but will ask for a $150 pet deposit in case I need to hire a cleaning service. I have all the equipment for cleaning so if you're able to get the hair out and no repairs are needed, I will refund the deposit! I love animals and am happy to welcome your buddy but I don't want to do the clean up!
