Growing up in Santa Cruz, surrounded by redwoods and coastline, shaped how I see the world through my lens. My interests in photography, painting, and deisgn expanded as I grew, with experiences like CSSSA at CalArts adding new dimensions. Along the way, I’ve collaborated with brands like Quay and Urban Outfitters, and earned recognition as a Southern California Journalism Finalist for Best News Photo.When I’m not taking photos or working on environmental conservation projects, you’ll find me listening to yacht rock, playing disc golf, or exploring the California coast. These varied interests shape my approach to each creative project.
