Everything I learned about design was in school, a lot of what I know about photography I learned from personal experience or the internet, and then furthered that knowledge in college.

Getting rejected from multiple internships.

What fills your plate? (what motivates you?)

Good people with good attitudes, inspiring ideas for art projects, the potential to make a difference


What's a word of advice you would give to creatives just joining the table

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take (cliche but it's true) and confidence is beautiful and humility is valuable.


Where can we follow your journey?
