I DISCOVERED MY PASSION FOR DESIGN DURING HIGH SCHOOL. IN 2005 I PICKED UP MY FIRST DSLR AND HAVE BEEN SHOOTING EVER SINCE. I'VE ALWAYS HAD AN INTEREST IN CREATING ALL SORTS OF PRINT MEDIA; DURING MY SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL I TOOK A DESIGN AND PRODUCTION COURSE THAT GOT ME HOOKED. I LEARNED TO SCREEN PRINT, CREATE 3D ART WITH A LASER ENGRAVER AND CUT VINYL GRAPHICS. FROM THERE I WORKED MY WAY UP TO MANAGER AND HEAD DESIGNER OF A LOCAL PRINT SHOP WHILE WORKING MY WAY THROUGH COLLEGE. SINCE GRADUATING I HAVE SPLIT MY TIME BETWEEN FREELANCING AT MULTIPLE DESIGN AGENCIES AND SELF LED PHOTOGRAPHY EXPEDITIONS ALL ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. IN MY FREE TIME I ENJOY WORKING WITH MY HANDS WHETHER IT BE RESTORING MY VINTAGE MUSTANG, BUILDING ANYTHING FROM MY MOBILE TINY HOUSE TO FURNITURE. MY CREATIVITY PUSHES ME TO DESIGN, BUILD AND PRODUCE JUST ABOUT ANYTHING, WHILE PUSHING THE LIMITS OF MATERIALS.
