hi, i’m hk —

i’m a theatre artist, book designer, yoga practitioner & witch

My pronouns are they/them/theirs. I’m a white, jewish, non-binary, chronically ill performing artist, designer and intuitive practitioner. I’ve had many lives and many practices, all of which I carry with me. I’ve worked in almost every corner of the entertainment industry in an out of the spotlight including co-writing and directing original theatre and radio drama, working on award-winning television shows and presenting on panels about gender identity and directing.

After growing up on Long Island, I received a BFA in Drama from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, where I studied acting at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting and the Experimental Theatre Wing. I also studied Shakespeare in Performance at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, UK and Commedia Dell’Arte in Florence, Italy. In 2016, I co-found BITCRUSHER, a digital theatre collective with the mission to make theatre accessible by streaming plays online. I have directed plays at the New York International Fringe Festival, Dixon Place, Prelude Festival and the John Drew Theatre Lab. My work has been featured in Variety and the New York Times.

Between 2017 and 2019 I co-created the radio drama podcasts A World Where and The Mueller Report: A Radio Dramatization, which have collectively accumulated over 100,000 downloads. At the same time, I worked in New York City’s film and television industry on projects including Ramy (Hulu), Marriage Story (Netflix), Y: The Last Man (FX) and High Fidelity (Hulu).

I’ve practiced yoga since 2009 have completed over 500 hours of yoga teacher training at the Ignite Institute for Yogic Leadership & Social Change and Aham Yoga.

From 2020-2025, I co-created be queer now, a hybrid virtual and in-person yoga collective that offered practices to the queer community in order to deepen our relationships with ourselves and community as we work towards collective liberation.

In 2026, my first full length play, Waiting for Mushrooms, was presented as a Works-In-Progress staged reading at Annex Theatre in Seattle, WA.

By day, I work for Storey Publishing, where I design books that foster practical skills and harmony with nature.
