Urgent Matter

Urgent Matter is an independent arts and culture news publication and news wire founded in October 2025. The publication reports on the intersections of art, law, politics, and technology, covering galleries and museums, labor movements, criminal and civil court cases and government policy. Based in New York, Urgent Matter was created to fill the gap left as many newsrooms scale back arts coverage. Its mission is to keep cultural journalism rigorous, accessible and rooted in public interest.

Brainbat

I started this New York-based pop cultural artistic merchandise and clothing brand to highlight and sell my original art and designs. Through the Brainbat name, I also sell artistic photography and photo prints. The site is currently on hiatus as I focus on building Urgent Matter.

COOKING BRASIL

I started this cooking blog for my mother, who wanted to post her recipes she’s created over the years. After designing and teaching her to use it, she now runs it mostly on her own. I’ll occasionally pop in to edit some of her content.
