I’ve spent my whole life creating, starting with crayons and collage in Montessori kindergarten in Melbourne, Australia. I loved (and still love lego and play with my son on a regular basis. I dabbled in pottery. I went to high school in Grand Rapids, Michigan and was able to explore early digital photography, sculpture, oil and acrcylic painting, life drawing, photography and many other creative outlets. I studied Graphic Design and Art History in Savannah, Georgia. I took a long divergence and worked in hospitality as manager and sommelier for many years while I continually photographed. The pandemic gave me time to reflect and I went back to some graphic design study, during that period I also started Photo Books Now I am available to photograph and design. Let’s chat
