Developing As a Designer & Photographer

I've been sitting on a lot of photos. I post what can to Instagram, but the majority of my photos just sit on my hard drives collecting data dust. I'm going to share them here as my journal. This will be the first of many posts I'll be sharing with whomever visits.

My goal here is to continue to push myself creatively, sometimes daily, but mostly weekly. I think it'll be a cool way to see where I started to where I go from here. Some posts will have a youtube link to go with them, but others will just be photos.

So let's get to the Big Bear Trip. I took a solo road trip up to Big Bear to find some potential places to shoot for my wedding. This was one trip I was looking forward to. The air was crispy and the scenery was buttery.

Along the way, documenting my journey. Enjoy!

Born in Michigan, I grew up surrounded by art, music, and travel. My mother was a contemporary artist, and my dad was a minister and a musician. Every summer, my family traveled to Brownsville, Cuidad Victoria, and Matamoros for mission work. Being one of six kids, I liked being in my own creative space where my imagination met storytelling. Growing up to the sounds of artists like Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Jimi Hendrix, BB King, Led Zeplin, and James Taylor would continue to influence my artistic expression.

When I worked on the yearbook for our high school, my love of photography, layout, and design began. Upon graduating, I studied graphic design at the Art Institute of Charlotte, NC, and the Art Institute in Santa Monica, CA. Over the 10+ years of working in the advertising industry, my passion and eye for photography and the motorcycle culture have grown. Every year, I raise funds and bring awareness to men's mental health and prostate cancer for the Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride.

I am based out of Los Angeles, always ready to ride and willing to travel.
