With a two-decade career in the architectural and cultural landscape of Los Angeles, her contributions extend to events such as the Pacific Standard Time Performance Festival, Getty 25 Celebrates Long Beach, the LA Design Festival, and the US International Poster Biennial. As a past curator at Armory Center for the Arts, Sinéad collaborated with influential artists and co-authored publications, including Architecture is a Social Act: Lorcan O’Herlihy Architects. Growing up a So Cal native and Long Beach adjacent, she now lives and works in the community she is most passionate about.
