As the founder of Art Inspector: Saving the Earth by Changing Art, Siembieda has set out to lower the carbon impact of art by transforming this practice of institutional critique into a nationally recognized Carbon Art Program at the City of San José.  Through this work, she has garnered significant support, including funding from Silicon Valley Energy Watch, and applied this practice with the City of San Francisco and institutions such as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. She has been an artist-in-residence at the University of Santa Cruz Genomics Institute, home of the Genome Browser, her pioneering contributions were further amplified through UCSC’s Arts Research Open Lab.  Siembieda's work has graced prestigious venues worldwide, from the 01SJ Biennial in Silicon Valley to the National Gallery in Copenhagen and CYLAND International Festival.

Holding an MFA in Digital Media Art from San Jose State University at the CADRE Media Art Lab, with a focus on green technology and sustainable materials, Siembieda's academic foundation complements her practical achievements. Beyond her artistic endeavors, she plays a pivotal role in cultivating the creative economy and enhancing cultural engagement in Silicon Valley through her work with the City of San José. Her tenure as Chief Creative Officer of Leonardo/The International Society for the Arts, Sciences, and Technology (Leonardo/ISAST) further cements her status as a leader in the fusion of art and science.
