Her debut album Multivocal was released in 2019 on Important Records.
In 2024, she released Manifolds, a piece commissioned by the Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM) for its loudspeaker orchestra, the Acousmonium. It was released as a split with Laurel Halo's Octavia. The release appears on the Portraits GRM record series, a joint series between the GRM and its label partner Shelter Press, a collaboration originally started with Peter Rehberg of Editions MEGO.
She was awarded with a Villa Romana Prize,[5] as well as a ZKM Giga-Hertz production award in 2023 (alongside Lea Bertucci and Laurie Spiegel).[6]
She was one of the composers chosen as collaborators by Natascha Sadr Haghigian for her installation Ankerzentrum at the German pavilion of the Venice Biennale 2019.[7]
