Story
Started as an artist
My father handed me a film camera and I fell in love with the darkroom. I worked as a graphic designer to pay for college and made a famous video.
Worked in design
I produced TV commercials for multiple ad agencies before pivoting into a fruitful career as a UX designer. But my life turned sideways…
Found perspective
My mom and dad died suddenly in my 30s. Their deaths taught me to stop chasing purpose through work.
Now
Life on my own terms and taking photos on film again :)
