about me

I’m a New York–based creative marketer interested in the intersection of fashion, media, internet culture, and community. My work is heavily influenced by youth culture, visual storytelling, music, film, and the ways people use aesthetics to express identity and emotion. Through both professional and personal projects, I’m drawn to building ideas, campaigns, and experiences that feel culturally awareand visually intentional.

I shoot both digitally and on film, mostly as a way of collecting things I find visually interesting. Spending so much time taking and editing photos has shaped the way I notice composition, styling, atmosphere, and small visual details, and has naturally influenced the way I approach creative direction and visual storytelling more broadly. Browse through my small archive of visual work and other things I felt deserved documentation.

music that shaped my taste

music that shaped my taste

Music has always been one of the biggest influences on the way I understand aesthetics, emotion, and culture. A lot of my perspective comes from exploring different genres, subcultures, scenes, eras, and paying attention to how music shapes identity and community. The songs in this iPod are a small archive of tracks that influenced my taste and the way I approach creative work.

my art

Painting has always been one of the most direct ways for me to translate ideas, emotions, and visual thoughts into something tangible. A lot of my work is less about technical realism and more about capturing a specific feeling, atmosphere, or mental image in the exact way I experience it. Over time, it’s also made me much more aware of color, composition, texture, and small visual details, while also giving me a place to explore random concepts and images that end up stuck in my head.

films + shows
that shaped my perspective

A lot of the way I understand creativity, aesthetics, identity, and the world around me has been shaped by film and television. I think the media people connect to says a lot about how they see the world, what they value, and the kinds of stories, visuals, and perspectives they’re drawn toward creatively. These are some of the films and shows that stuck with me long after watching them and quietly influenced the way I think, create, and observe.
