A little about me...
Growing up in Southern California meant that as a kid I was always exploring the outdoors. Scraped knees were a regular occurrence, and there was always a bag of trail mix nearby.
Discovering my love of photography in my early–mid teens and pursuing it from then on, I was constantly looking for ways to combine it with the things I knew I already had passions for.
From camping, hiking, biking, and snowboarding, to climbing, to cooking, to coffee, and finally to cameras, I wanted to try it all.
I’ve always pushed the limits of what I was used to and broken through the barriers of what I thought I could do.
Photographically, it’s no different.
I’m always absorbing content, being influenced and inspired by what I see, and morphing it into ideas and techniques I can apply to new adventures.
A recent graduate from Columbia College Chicago with a degree in commercial photography and graphic design, I'm eager to explore whatever comes next!
