This is my story!

I got my degree and realized I wasn’t sure if I wanted to continue with design anymore. I had come this far, so I still gave it a shot.


I worked over 10 design jobs, and I discovered I do really enjoy it but not in the way I was taught. However, I knew I yearned for more forms of creativity.

And so, I explored!
I invested years into photography,
dived into video & editing,
and made a bunch of content.

I loved all of these things, and I’m still finding new practices that resonate with me.

As I honed my skills and gained loads of experience, I began to consider goals and impact - big questions and a mini existential crisis. And I was stumped.

How the heck does taking photos, making videos, and visual design become something meaningful? 

Along the way, I developed a project - a free fully public open studio photoshoot specifically for the community.

After it all happened, I was overwhelmed with joy. Truly the most heartwarming experience I’ve ever had.

I proved to myself that I can bring people together, foster connection, and give back to my community through art, photo, video and design.

I always thought I wasn’t meant to do something like this, but the more I invest into building easier access to art and connection, the more real and feasible it becomes.

This is my passion.
