Born and raised in Austin, Texas, currently living nearby in San Antonio. I am a photographer, filmmaker, and reflective storyteller when the shackles of the 9-5 have been temporarily released.

Currently balancing a full-time job with a growing creative practice, this is my space for building images, videos, and articles that document my process — failures, experiments, and all.

Photography, philosophy, and creativity center me, and I invite you as well to slow down, notice more deeply, and reconnect with the overlooked and often missed moments of everyday life.

Through my work, I hope to encourage others to explore their own creative lives with intention, curiosity, and a sense of wonder and appreciation for the world around us

Cheers.
