Creative work,
human approach.
I've always loved art in every form it takes, and I've spent my career finding ways to weave them together. That's given me a perspective I don't think I could have gotten any other way.
A look at the journey and creative curiosity that fuel my work.
I got into graphic design and video editing in high school, making YouTube videos and banners for myself and friends because it was fun, not because anyone asked me to. Around the same time I picked up photography, and it's the one thing I've never put down. No formal training in it, just years of paying attention and slowly getting better. Design turned into a career. Photography and film stayed close behind it, and eventually became Radiant Star Studios and Blue Tiger Brand, the places where I get to make things entirely on my own terms.
Years building brands and experiences
Years behind a camera
A reason to slow down.
I've always loved hitting the shutter button. Not for any one reason, just the act of documenting life as it happens. Lately that's meant slowing down even more and shooting on film. There's something about loading a roll, getting it wrong sometimes, and waiting to see what you actually captured that a phone camera can't give you. It's become less about getting a good shot and more about getting outside and paying attention.
I don't think of myself as a designer who also does photography and film. It's more that I've always been a creative person, and design happened to be the discipline that paid the bills first. Everything else, the camera, the editing, the systems thinking, comes from the same place. I'm happiest when I'm making something, learning something, or figuring out why a thing works the way it does.
