Designer and photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Rather than tell you what I've done, what I'm doing, or I hope to do, you should know that I prefer sweet and simple. Sweet as in sweet > salty.
Simplicity is hard. It's easy to mask a problem or an unknown with something else. Getting to the crux of a feeling, an idea, or a problem takes patience. It's about observing and thoughtfully peeling away each layer to understand why. That's my recipe for making something interesting.
Things change and my aim is to plant seeds (whether creatively or via conversation) for others to water, respond to, and make something meaningful from.
